Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal property is in an appropriate location for a house in multiple occupation, with particular regard to need and the supply of family housing
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties in terms of noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory parking arrangements and effect highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of a family-sized house which is the highest priority for housing within the borough, with no identified need for an HMO at this location, and would harm the living conditions of neighbouring properties through increased noise and disturbance.
