Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the future occupiers of bedroom 5 and of bedroom 6, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for car parking, electrical vehicle charging points and cycle storage
What decided it
The limited increase in the number of occupants (from 6 to 8 persons) meant the proposal would not be materially more harmful than the existing lawful 6-bed HMO use in terms of outlook, privacy, noise, disturbance or parking.
