Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the housing mix and choice in the area, including whether it would lead to an unacceptable proliferation of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) or loss of housing
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, and parking and servicing in the area
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through the visual dominance of cycle and waste storage arrangements, and the absence of evidence demonstrating that highway safety and parking impacts would be acceptable.
