Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character of the street and surrounding area, with particular reference to the balance and mix of housing and the living conditions of occupiers of existing dwellings
- the standard of accommodation for the future occupiers of the HMO
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to the character of the street and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers by converting a family-sized dwelling to an HMO in a location contrary to policy, and would provide an unacceptable standard of accommodation for future occupiers due to poor internal layout.
