- Wyborn D
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the resulting business space would be acceptable having regard to the location within the Roman Road East District Centre
- whether or not the residential accommodation would provide suitable living conditions for occupants
- whether or not the development would provide housing to meet an identified need and/or would contribute to the long term provision of a form of low-cost accommodation
What decided it
The proposed HMO units would provide substandard accommodation with poor daylight, outlook and amenity standards, failing to meet the high quality living space requirements of Policy D.H7 and conflicting with the development plan when considered as a whole.
Plan policies cited: Policy S.TC1, Policy D.TC2, Policy D.DH8, Policy D.H3, Policy D.H7
