®Planning appeal decision
11 Boardman Street, Eccles, Manchester, M30 0FP
Planning appeal 3347503 at 11 Boardman Street, Eccles, Manchester, M30 0FP (Salford City Council) was dismissed on 21 February 2025 by Inspector Bromley N, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the development on the mix and supply of housing, having regard to the level of HMOs in the surrounding area including the effect on residential character and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, in particular 26 Boardman Street.
The current C4 use property was an existing 4 Bedroom HMO, and we intend to change to a 7 Bedroom HMO”

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the mix and supply of housing, having regard to the level of HMOs in the surrounding area including the effect on residential character and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, in particular 26 Boardman Street
- whether or not the accommodation provides satisfactory living conditions for the occupiers of the property, with regard to the provision of appropriately sized bedrooms (bedroom six and bedroom seven)
What decided it
The development conflicts with Policy H10 because the appeal property would be immediately adjacent to more than one other HMO, resulting in cumulative harm to the residential character and living conditions of the neighbouring single dwelling at No. 26 Boardman Street.
