- Inspector
- Robbie K
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the supply of family homes
- Whether the development would be consistent with local policies relating to the location of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) having regard to accessibility to public transport and local services
- The provision of adequate cycle parking facilities
What decided it
The property is already lawfully in use as an HMO, so the proposal does not result in the loss of a family home which Policy SC10(e) seeks to protect, and the development complies with the overall objective of the policy to meet housing need.
