Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the mix and balance of housing in the area
  • Its effect on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby dwellings with regard to noise and disturbance, property upkeep, waste disposal and parking

What decided it

The loss of a further family home in an area already having a high concentration of HMOs (approximately 53.8% in the core output area) would be detrimental to the mix and balance of housing in the local community and conflict with the development plan.
