Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the HMO provides acceptable living conditions for its occupants, with regard to the quality and quantity of the communal space
- whether the rear outbuilding is suitable as habitable accommodation as part of the HMO, having regard to the development plan policy, and provides adequate living conditions for its occupants, with particular regard to outlook
- the effect on highway safety, with particular regard to vehicle parking
- whether the development could make suitable provision for secure and sheltered cycle parking
What decided it
The lack of adequate communal space within the HMO, particularly the undersized kitchen/diner and the impractical location of the rear outbuilding living area, fails to provide acceptable living conditions for occupants in breach of development plan policies and the Framework.
