Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the mix of housing in the area having particular regard to the balance of the community
  • the living conditions of nearby occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance, refuse and parking in the local area

What decided it

The proposal would result in only one additional occupant in an existing HMO in an area already heavily concentrated with HMOs, generating negligible impacts on housing mix and living conditions that would not conflict with development plan policies.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy S25 (Residential Sub-divisions, Shared and Specialist Housing)Policy S53 (Design and Amenity)

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
