Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with regard to the balance and mix of housing, and the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The property is already a licensed HMO counted within the baseline, so the proposal to expand it would not worsen the current divergence from the HMO threshold, and there is insufficient substantive evidence of harmful effects on neighbouring properties' living conditions or the area's character.
