Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on highway safety
  • The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The parking demand from a 5-bed HMO with 5 occupants would be unlikely to exceed the existing demand from 3 flats, and spare parking capacity was observed on the street, therefore the development would not have an unacceptable impact on highway safety as required by NPPF paragraph 111.
