Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the use of the appeal property as a House in Multiple Occupation would be acceptable in terms of its effect on the housing mix within the borough
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with specific regard to internal living space
- whether the proposal would adequately promote sustainable modes of transport
What decided it
The proposal conflicted with the development plan on multiple grounds—loss of three-bedroom housing stock, inadequate bedroom sizes for future occupiers, and intensification of parking stress—with no material considerations indicating determination other than in accordance with the development plan.
