Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the mix and balance of housing in the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to communal space
What decided it
The property was already in HMO use, so the proposal would not increase the number of HMOs in the area or affect housing mix, and the additional occupant could be accommodated within existing facilities without unacceptable harm to neighbours or future occupiers.
