Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed change of use to a larger House in Multiple Occupation would accord with development plan policies which seek to promote a balanced and sustainable community in the local area
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for neighbouring occupiers and amenity in the wider area, with particular regard to noise and other disturbance, the storage and collection of refuse, and demand for on-street car parking
What decided it
The appeal property's existing use as an HMO, combined with the absence of any realistic prospect of it becoming family housing and the lack of unacceptable adverse impacts on neighbouring amenity, outweighed the conflict with policies promoting balanced communities in areas with high HMO concentration.
