Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the site would be suitable for the development, having regard to the development plan's approach to the provision of HMOs

What decided it

The existence of a Lawful Development Certificate for a 3-6 person HMO at the same site meant that the loss of the family home would occur regardless of the outcome of this appeal, making the fallback position a material consideration that outweighed the policy conflict.

The conflict with the development plan in respect of the loss of a family home was outweighed by the fallback position of the Lawful Development Certificate, which meant the loss would occur either way.
