Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties through noise and disturbance arising from the sandwiching effect and intensive use patterns of a six-bedroom HMO, contrary to Policies DM2 and DM30 of the SADMP and BCS21 of the Core Strategy.
