Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for the occupier of bedroom 6, with regard to internal space provision
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise, disturbance, and parking congestion
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide adequate internal space for bedroom 6 (8sqm against a 10sqm minimum requirement), which would result in cramped accommodation contrary to the development plan standards for HMOs.
