Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a specific need for the HMO has been demonstrated, and whether or not the development would result in an over-concentration of this type of accommodation in the area
- Whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for occupants, with regard to the size and standard of accommodation
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of No.33 Rosemead Avenue, with regard to outlook and light
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The development fails to demonstrate a specific need for HMO accommodation as required by Local Plan Policy BH7, does not provide satisfactory living conditions for occupants, causes significant harm to neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance, harms the outlook and light of No.33 Rosemead Avenue, and detrimentally affects the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area.
