Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of any additional parking requirement on highway safety and the amenity of local residents
- Whether the occupiers of the proposed HMO units and the neighbouring residential property would be likely to suffer from noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal makes proper and adequate provision for refuse storage and cycle parking
What decided it
The unmet parking requirement and lack of evidence that noise and disturbance could be adequately controlled in an intensively-used HMO within a terraced property resulted in significant adverse impacts that conflicted with the development plan and outweighed the housing supply benefits.
