Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area and the host property
  • Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposed development with specific reference to their internal space
  • Whether the proposed development would be the subject of suitable management arrangements
  • The effects of the proposed development upon trees
  • Whether the need for the proposed development has been adequately demonstrated

What decided it

The proposed development would constitute a high-quality HMO that accords with the development plan taken as a whole, with the single policy conflict regarding the absence of a tree survey being outweighed by the proportionate approach of imposing protective conditions given the tree's limited value.

Plan policies cited: Policy DMP1, Policy BH7, Policy BH10, Policy BG12, London Plan Policy D6, London Plan Policy G7
