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.
