Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the provision of small family housing in the borough
- The living conditions of the occupiers of the self-contained unit, having regard to the standard of accommodation
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the development makes suitable provision for waste disposal
What decided it
The development conflicts with the Council's policy to protect small family housing (Policy DM17) and causes harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance from intensive HMO use.
Plan policies cited: DPD Policy DM16 Residential Conversions, DPD Policy DM17 Housing in multiple occupation, TLP Policy D6 Housing Quality and Standards, HLP Policy SP2 Housing, DPD Policy DM12
