Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would result in an over-concentration of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) in the area, and if so, the effect that this would have on the character of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of residents of the immediate adjacent neighbouring property
What decided it
The proposal would exacerbate an already over-concentrated area of HMOs and erode the traditional residential character of the area, conflicting with Policy 8 of the development plan, and this harm was not outweighed by the absence of amenity impacts on neighbours.
Plan policies cited: Policy 8 of the Broxtowe Borough, Gedling Borough and Nottingham City Aligned Core Strategy 2014, Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy, Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Borough Council Part 2 Local Plan 2019
