Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development provides an appropriate housing mix in the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with respect to noise and disturbance, property upkeep, waste disposal and parking
- whether the proposed development provides a suitable living environment for its occupiers, with particular regard to communal space
What decided it
The property had been operating as a 7-bedroom HMO for some time with no substantive evidence of harm to neighbours or unsustainable community impact, and the conversion was unlikely to be feasible due to HMO licensing space standards.
