Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a house in multiple occupancy (HMO) having regard to local policy
- whether 33 Vicarage Farm Road is a suitable dwelling for a HMO with regard to local policy
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the development provides adequate waste and recycling facilities
What decided it
The appeal site is not a suitable location for an HMO as it is not within convenient walking distance of town centre facilities, and the dwelling does not meet the minimum floor area requirement, with insufficient evidence of adequate management and waste provision.
Plan policies cited: Policy SC1, Policy SC10, Policy CC2, Policy EQ7
