Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of the development with particular regard to the communal living space together with outlook and daylight for the occupant of bedroom No 3
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the provision of the bin and bicycle storage provision
- whether the proposal would provide adequate bin storage, bicycle, and car parking provision
What decided it
The proposal would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to insufficient communal living space and poor outlook for bedroom No 3, conflicting with Local Plan policies requiring compliance with good practice guidance on HMO amenities.
Plan policies cited: Policy H6, Policy H15, Policy RE7, Policy DH1, Policy M3, Policy M5, Policy DH7
