Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents, particularly those at 7 The Spinney and 11 The Spinney and with regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupiers of the development

What decided it

The effect of the intensified use on the living conditions of neighbouring residents through increased noise and disturbance, and the incompatibility with the established residential character of the neighbourhood, outweighs the benefit of two additional HMO rooms.
