Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the availability of housing suitable for family accommodation
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The existing take-away use already generates significant noise and activity from customers, so the proposed HMO would not result in a harmful increase in noise and disturbance compared to the current use.
