Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and amenity of the surrounding neighbourhood, having particular regard to development plan policy and the potential cumulative effects resulting from existing Houses in Multiple Occupation in the area

What decided it

The dispersed spatial distribution of existing licensed HMOs on St Pauls Road and the similarity of a five-person HMO's activity levels to a family home meant the proposal would not cause harmful over-concentration or material adverse effects on local character and amenity.
