Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the HMO use is acceptable, having regard to the effect on the supply of single-family dwelling houses
- The effect of the use of the property as an HMO on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance and the character of the area
- The effect of the use of the property as a HMO on the living conditions of current and future occupiers of the HMO, with particular regard to floorspace and layout
What decided it
The property fails to meet the requirements of Policy DMD5 regarding compensatory provision for family accommodation, results in unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbours, and provides substandard living conditions for HMO occupiers with insufficient communal living and dining space.
Plan policies cited: Policy DMD5, Core Policy 4, Policy CP 30, Policy DMD8, Policy DMD37, Policy DMD68, Policy D3 of the London Plan, 2021, Policy CP4, Policy DMD6
