Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The suitability of the proposed development, having regard to the development plan's approach to the provision of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)
  • Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for the existing and future occupiers of the properties, with regard to internal living space
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise, disturbance, property upkeep and parking

What decided it

The proposal would add to an existing significant concentration of HMOs (19% against a 10% threshold) and would adversely affect the housing mix in the area, contrary to Policies HO1, HO2 and HO6 of the Local Plan.
