Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties in respect of noise and disturbance from increased occupancy of the appeal property
- the effect of the proposal upon the character of the area
- whether the HMO would include adequate internal and external space for residents
What decided it
The unacceptable level of noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents from the additional three occupants' comings and goings, car parking movements and associated activity, which would harmfully intensify the use of the terraced property beyond what the residential environment could accommodate.
the harm to living conditions of neighbouring residents and character of the area, afforded very significant adverse weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social and economic benefits of additional residential accommodation and the fact that internal and external space standards were met
