Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether suitable living conditions are provided for existing and future occupiers of the House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) and flat, having regard to internal floorspace and outdoor private amenity space, as well as noise and disturbance
- The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to noise and disturbance and on-street parking
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect on the supply of family housing in the Borough
What decided it
The use fails to provide suitable living conditions for occupiers and causes significant harm to neighbouring amenity and the character of the residential area, with no material considerations justifying permission.
