Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the supply of family-sized accommodation in the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
  • the integrity of protected European sites

What decided it

The absence of current, comprehensive evidence of local housing need and supply, combined with demonstrated demand for HMO accommodation and the absence of harm to neighbours or protected sites, meant that material considerations outweighed the development plan conflict.
