Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed change of use on the balance and mix of households in the local community and the residential character of the area
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of a family-sized dwelling needed in the area and would breach the consecutive row restriction in Policy DMD5 by clustering residential conversions, thereby harming the residential character of the area.
the adverse impacts on the balance and mix of households and residential character would significantly and demonstrably outweigh any modest benefits from delivering a single HMO
