Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the HMO use is acceptable, having regard to the effect on the supply of single-family dwelling houses
- The effect of the use of the property as a HMO on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of Sherrard Road, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of current and future occupiers of the HMO, with particular regard to floor space, and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unacceptable loss of a single-family dwelling house combined with unacceptable living conditions for both neighbouring occupiers and current/future HMO occupiers rendered the development contrary to the development plan and Framework.
