Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to external amenity space

What decided it

The fallback position of the approved 5-bedroom HMO with no external amenity space meant that the proposed scheme, despite providing less outdoor space than the 2023 SPD standard, would result in a better overall outcome for future occupiers and therefore acceptable reduced amenity provision.
