Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers
  • whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the character of the area and the living conditions of nearby occupiers in terms of noise, disturbance and community cohesion
  • whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for parking and avoid harm to highway safety

What decided it

The substantial shortfall in communal space provision below the HMO Amenity Standards Guide, combined with the harmful impact on the character of the area and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers from the intensive residential use, outweighed any benefits and conflicted with the development plan.
