Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• The land use principle of the development including the intensification of the proposed use
• The proposed design of the development and internal arrangements
• The adequacy of external amenity spaces for prospective occupiers
• The effect of the proposal upon biodiversity
• Whether there would be adequate bin storage and waste disposal
• Whether there would be adequate space for the storage of bicycles

What decided it

The closeness of the proposed HMO's rear elevation to the car tyre garage with its large access doors, such that noise levels from the garage would have an adverse effect upon occupiers, making the development unacceptable in land use terms.
