Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the loss of a family size dwelling on the provision of housing
- Whether the proposal would exceed the policy threshold of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in the area
- The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of a family-sized dwelling for which there is clear demand in the city, would exceed the HMO policy threshold, and would cause unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh these findings.
