Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the mix and balance of housing in the area
What decided it
The proposed development would result in only a negligible increase in HMOs, leaving approximately 75% of properties as other types, and would not result in an over-concentration that would significantly alter the existing balance or mix of housing in the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H6 of the Leeds Core Strategy (2014)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
