Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal property is in an appropriate location for a house of multiple occupation, with particular regard to identified need and the supply of family housing
- The effect of the proposed development on the character of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate an identified need for HMO accommodation at this location as required by Policy DM09, and would result in the loss of a 3-bedroom dwelling which is a priority housing type in the Borough.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM08, Policy DM09, Policy HOU02, Policy HOU2, Policy HOU3, Policy CS1, Policy CS5, Policy DM01, Policy H9 of the London Plan
