Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects on the living conditions of the occupiers of the property by reason of outlook, natural daylight and the provision of privacy
  • The effects of the development on highway safety where the concern is that the development would add to on-street parking pressures

What decided it

The unsatisfactory outlook from the upper front room and the unacceptable increase in on-street parking pressures beyond the fallback six-bedroom HMO position outweighed any benefits of creating an additional bedroom.
