Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties with regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposed development would result in the unacceptable loss of a family sized dwelling
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance from the intensive use of the property as an HMO combined with a flat, together with the loss of a family-sized dwelling in an area of family housing, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing choice and economic contribution.
