Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for use as a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO) having regard to development policies and the effect on the character of the area including the supply of family housing
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
- whether appropriate levels of car parking provision are provided, having regard to the transport objectives of the development plan
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to the established character of the area, harm living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, and fail to provide appropriate levels of car parking, with these harms not outweighed by the benefit of additional housing supply.
