Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the use of the outbuilding as HMO accommodation on the character and appearance of the appeal site and of the area
  • Whether the outbuilding would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook and privacy
  • The effect of the use of the outbuilding as HMO accommodation on the living conditions of the existing occupiers of 108 and 112 Burleigh Road with particular regard to outlook, privacy, and light
  • The effect of the use of the outbuilding as HMO accommodation on the demand for on-street car parking
  • The provision of refuse storage and cycle parking for occupants of the outbuilding

What decided it

The use of the outbuilding as primary HMO accommodation with independent access, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and unacceptable loss of privacy for neighbours, conflicts with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to warrant approval.
