Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character of the surrounding area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to the intensification of the HMO use of the property
  • whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for the future occupier of bedroom 6, with regard to useable space, outlook, and natural light

What decided it

The existing HMO status of the property means the proposal does not increase HMO concentration in the Article 4 area, and the addition of one occupant would not cause discernible harm to neighbouring living conditions or the character of the area.
