Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is suitable for use as a HMO having regard to development plan policies and the character of the area
  • whether the rear building would provide an appropriate mix of housing having regard to development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of all neighbouring properties in regard to noise and disturbance and 44 Victoria Road and 25 Daws Lane in regard to outlook
  • whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants of Flats 2 and 3 in regard to outlook, light and outdoor amenity space
  • whether sufficient information has been submitted to assess the impact of the proposal on biodiversity, with particular regard to bats

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with multiple development plan policies regarding HMO suitability, neighbouring amenity (outlook), future occupant living conditions, and insufficient biodiversity information, and material considerations do not indicate a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
