Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, in terms of the mix and balance of housing in the area
- the effect on the living conditions of existing occupiers, by reason of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal relates to an already-established HMO and adds only one bedroom, therefore it would not alter the housing mix balance, introduce sandwiching, or generate activity levels that would adversely affect neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 8 of the Greater Nottingham Broxtowe Borough Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 Local Plan Adopted 2014Policy 10 of the Greater Nottingham Broxtowe Borough Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 Local Plan Adopted 2014Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Borough Part 2 Local Plan Adopted 2019
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
