Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the supply of family housing
  • Whether property provides suitable living conditions for its occupants, with regard to shared facilities and cycle parking provision
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with reference to increased activity and noise

What decided it

The loss of a small family home in an area with identified need to preserve such accommodation, combined with inadequate shared facilities for occupants, outweighs the benefit of providing an HMO in this location.
