- Procedure

- residential · Other minor developments
- Inspector
- Redford R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute an extension to the HMO
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants in relation to noise and disturbance, and the character and appearance of the area
- Whether it would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupants with specific regard to internal and external space
What decided it
The proposal would cause detrimental harm to the living conditions of occupants at the neighbouring property (115 Harrison Road) through noise and disturbance arising from the intensified use of the site as a 7-person HMO with split accommodation between two buildings.
