Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on community balance, having regard to relevant development plan policy and other material considerations
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and parking
What decided it
The very modest increase in occupancy (from 6 to 7 people) with minimal internal alterations and the absence of specific evidence of HMO-related problems in the area meant the proposal would not lead to a notable change in community balance or harm to neighbouring living conditions.
