Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the scheme would result in the loss of a dwellinghouse suitable for family occupation, and its effect on the creation and maintenance of balanced communities
- The effect of the proposal on neighbouring occupiers' living conditions, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The scheme conflicts with the development plan's presumption against loss of family housing and the identified need for family accommodation in Nottingham, as the appellant failed to robustly demonstrate the property is unsuitable for family occupation or provide convincing evidence of a local need for HMOs sufficient to outweigh this presumption.
