Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect of the development on the character and amenities of the area
- Whether the development is in an accessible location with regard to public transport
What decided it
The development failed to meet the requirements of Policy DM09 in that it did not demonstrate an identified need for an HMO, would harm the character and amenities of the area, and was not easily accessible by public transport, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these policy conflicts.
