Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the HMO on the character of the area
- whether the HMO is in a suitable location in respect of access to town centre facilities by a choice of means of travel
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties with particular reference to noise and disturbance
- whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for occupiers with particular reference to room sizes and kitchen facilities
What decided it
The existence of a lawful Certificate of Development confirming the property's use as a larger HMO for at least 7 occupants meant the appeal proposal for 10 residents would cause no material increase in demonstrable harm to character, neighbouring amenity, or occupant living conditions.
