Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the supply of family housing
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the existing and future occupiers of the property, in terms of the amount of internal space available
- the effect of the development on neighbouring residents, having particular regard to disturbance from comings and goings
What decided it
The loss of a family dwelling through conversion to a larger HMO conflicted with the Council's development plan policies prioritising family housing, and this conflict could not be outweighed by any material considerations.
Plan policies cited: Policy H1, Policy H3, Policy H4, Policy S1, Policy S6, Policy SP1, Policy SP2, Policy SP3, Policy SP8, Policy D4, Policy D6, Policy D14
