Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal property is a suitable location for a HMO

What decided it

The development results in a non-HMO dwelling being sandwiched between two HMOs due to the close relationship of the properties, which breaches Policy H6(c) of the Warwick Local District Plan and cannot be overcome by compliance with other policy criteria.
