Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to policies concerned with development in areas at risk of flooding
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupants of the house of multiple occupation (HMO), regarding the number of occupants and the size of the communal area

What decided it

The proposal fails to adequately avoid or mitigate flood risk and would not provide adequate living conditions for future HMO occupants, particularly regarding communal space sizing relative to potential occupancy.
