Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme provides a satisfactory standard of accommodation for its occupants
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the living condition of neighbouring occupants, having particular regard to on-street parking
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of occupants and neighbouring occupants, having particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the provision of family sized accommodation within the borough
- Whether the appeal scheme makes satisfactory provision for waste, garden maintenance and cycle storage
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the character of the area
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the material change of use to an HMO occurred before 1 November 2022 when permitted development rights would have applied, and the scheme fails to provide satisfactory living conditions for occupants and would harm neighbouring living conditions contrary to development plan policies.
