Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be a suitable location for a House in Multiple Occupancy (HMO), having regard to the Council's spatial strategy
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including associated noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for its occupants in respect of outlook, outdoor amenity space and daylight/sunlight
- whether a s106 is necessary to address the transport impacts of the proposed development
What decided it
The proposal would not be a suitable location for an HMO having regard to the Council's spatial strategy, would result in harm to character and appearance, and would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for occupants in respect of outlook and outdoor amenity space.
