- Inspector
- Lo S
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to internal layout and external living space
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the stock of family housing in the borough and the subdivision of the property into an HMO
What decided it
The proposed development would not provide adequate external amenity space for a five-person HMO, falling below the required standards and resulting in overcrowded and inadequate living conditions for future occupants.
