Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed HMO on plot 5 would appear unduly cramped and discordant due to inadequate set-in from the western boundary, harmfully undermining the spacious character of the area, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighs the housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impact on character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social and economic benefits of housing provision, as an acceptable alternative scheme should be achievable
