Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would result in the unacceptable loss of a family dwelling
- whether the proposed development would make adequate arrangements for parking
- the effect of the proposed development on the residential character of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate an identified need for an HMO that would justify the loss of a family dwelling, and lacked a planning obligation to secure CPZ permit restrictions, making it contrary to the development plan.
