Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the appeal property
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly in terms of the concentration of HMOs within the area
What decided it
The development fails to provide adequate communal amenity space for the occupiers, conflicting with Policy DM17 and Policy SP2, and this harm to living conditions is not outweighed by any other considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM17Policy SP2
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
