Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to on-street car parking
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Billing Road Conservation Area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise, littering, privacy, and anti-social behaviour
What decided it
The proposed development would not generate a significant increase in parking demand beyond the existing use and future occupants would have excellent access to services and facilities, satisfying the HMO SPD criteria and demonstrating no harm to highway safety.
