Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for occupants, with particular regard to the provision of internal and external living space and the provision of refuse and cycle storage
- Appeal A: the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants in the area with particular regard to property management, car parking, noise and general disturbance
- Appeal A: whether the development results in an unacceptable loss of a larger family sized residential unit
- Appeal B: whether the development would result in an unacceptable loss of a larger family sized residential unit
- Appeal B: whether the development provides a management plan for the HMO
- Appeal B: whether the development provides appropriate arrangements for cycle and refuse storage
- Appeal B: whether the development would achieve a satisfactory urban greening factor
- Appeal B: whether measures have been provided to reduce the rate of surface water run-off
What decided it
The quality of the HMO provision was not sufficiently high to outweigh the loss of family-sized housing, and the proposed extensions could be severed and permitted as they could facilitate use as an enlarged single dwellinghouse.
