Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character of the area with regard to the proportion of houses in multiple occupation (HMO)
- whether the development would provide satisfactory accommodation for its future occupiers with regards to internal layout
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety in relation to the proposed car parking provision and visibility
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for waste storage
What decided it
The Inspector found no harm arising under any of the four main issues (character, living conditions, highway safety, waste storage), so the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.
