Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of No 17 Gayner Road, with regards to noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would not result in harmful noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents given the site is already in use as an HMO and only one additional resident would be added, and the character and appearance impacts would be acceptable given the diverse alterations already present in the street.
