Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the change of use on the creation and maintenance of a balanced community
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The absence of specific evidence of adverse impacts on community balance or neighbours' living conditions, combined with the suitability of the inner urban location for HMO accommodation, meant the policy thresholds being exceeded were insufficient by themselves to justify refusal.
