Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would conflict with the aims of national and local planning policy to create or strengthen balanced communities, with particular regard to its effect on the social character of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties by way of noise, disturbance, anti-social behaviour, and impact on residential facilities

What decided it

The concentration of HMOs in the area at 60-77% already far exceeds policy thresholds and the addition of a further HMO would cause unacceptable harm to the social character and balance of the local community.
