Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a house in multiple occupancy (HMO)
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The appeal site's location in PTAL 1b with poor public transport access and distance of 0.8-1.2km from town centre facilities, significantly exceeding the 400m convenient walking distance requirement in Policy SC10 of the HLP and the SPD, makes it unsuitable for an HMO.
