Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties at 145 and 149 Longfleet Road
What decided it
The failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the HMO and harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers at 145 Longfleet Road significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing supply benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The housing supply benefits and efficient use of the site were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on living conditions for future occupiers and harm to neighbouring amenity, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
