Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The suitability of the premises for use as a seven-bedroom HMO, considering its location
- The impact of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to the standard of amenity space provided and the adequacy of waste and recycling facilities
- The impact of the proposed development on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers, particularly in relation to increased activity and the use of the premises as an HMO
What decided it
The proposal's failure to meet the locational requirements of Policy SC10 (proximity to town centre facilities and good public transport links) and the absence of required outdoor amenity space under Policy SC5 were decisive in dismissing the appeal.
Plan policies cited: Policy SC10, Policy SC5, Policy CC2, Policy EQ7
