Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposal on the supply of family sized housing in the Borough
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through increased noise and disturbance from the more intensive use of the HMO and the external staircase, which outweighed the limited benefits of the development.
