Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and amenity of the area

What decided it

The fact that any occupancy above 6 persons would require planning permission means the Council has adequate controls over any future proposal to increase numbers, and as the current proposal does not indicate an increase in occupiers, concerns over character and amenity are unfounded.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy H11Manchester Core Strategy
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 5Paragraph 12

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
