Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development complies with the Council's development strategy relating to the provision of HMOs
- Whether the development would provide an acceptable standard of living for its occupants
- Whether the development complies with local policies relating to 'car-free' housing
What decided it
The proposal failed to meet the minimum floor space threshold for HMO conversion under Policy 20 and would result in inadequate living conditions with insufficient room sizes and no separate communal space for occupants.
Framework references: 135
Plan policies cited: Policy 15, Policy 20, Policy 60, Policy 66
