Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on housing mix, having regard to relevant development plan policies
the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise, level of activity, property upkeep, waste disposal, turnover of occupants, and parking, and linked to this on the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would displace housing suitable for families and exacerbate an over-concentration of HMO properties in an area already at 45% student households and HMOs, contrary to development plan policies seeking to maintain housing mix and sustainable communities.
