Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on housing choice, with particular regard to the loss of existing single family dwellings
- the effect of the proposed development on living conditions of current and future occupiers of the property and surrounding occupiers
- whether the proposed development would provide appropriate cycle storage facilities
- whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for off-street parking, and the effect of any lack of provision on the amenity of the area and highway safety
What decided it
The cumulative effect of loss of family housing stock in an already over-concentrated HMO ward, combined with unsatisfactory living conditions for future and neighbouring occupiers and inadequate parking and cycle storage provision, rendered the development contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
