Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal change of use has caused an over-concentration of similar uses and/or loss of family homes in the area
- The effects of the mixed use on the living conditions of occupiers of the appeal and nearby properties
- Its effects on car parking along Huxley Road
- The effects of a refusal of planning permission on the appellants and on the occupiers of the appeal building
What decided it
The mixed use results in unacceptably cramped living conditions for HMO occupiers who lack adequate space for cooking, relaxing and storage, combined with incessant noise and disturbance from nine or more permanent and transient occupiers, which cannot be remedied by conditions and conflicts with development plan policies and the NPPF.
Plan policies cited: Policy 20/A, Policy 20/C, Policy 53, Policy 56, Policy 61/F, Policy 66, London Plan Policy D6
