- Bowyer J
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the supply of housing suitable for families
- Whether living conditions for occupiers of the development would be acceptable with particular regard to the quality of the accommodation and the provision of amenity space
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for cycle storage and refuse storage
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for parking and to support use of sustainable transport modes
What decided it
The existence of a Certificate of Lawfulness for an identical HMO scheme that could lawfully be implemented as a fallback position, meaning the appeal development would cause no greater harm than what could already be carried out.
