Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the proposed development, having regard to the development plans approach to the provision of HMOs, with particular regard to public transport and identified housing need
- whether the development would make adequate provision for urban greening with particular regard to biodiversity, sustainable drainage and water conservation targets
- whether the development would provide its occupants with acceptable living conditions with particular regard to communal facilities
What decided it
The loss of a family-sized dwelling in a low public transport accessibility area, contrary to the development plan's prioritisation of family housing and HMO provision in well-connected locations.
