Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is an established local need for using the property as a large HMO, having regard to planning policies that seek to protect the loss of family dwellinghouses
- Whether the development provides adequate accommodation for its occupants, with specific regard to the size of the rooms, its layout as well as noise and disturbance
- The impact of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with specific regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The development conflicts with the Council's housing strategy and local plan policies seeking to protect family-sized homes, and no material considerations outweigh this harm despite acceptable living conditions for occupants and neighbours.
Plan policies cited: Policy H1, Policy H3, Policy H4, Policy S1, Policy S6, Policy SP1, Policy SP2, Policy SP3, Policy SP8, Policy D4, Policy D6, Policy D3, Policy D14, Policy GG4, Policy H8, Policy H10, Policy GG1, Policy GG3, Policy D8
