Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring properties, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed HMO use would cause material harm to the residential character of the area and unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers through the intensified pattern of activity from six unrelated occupants, which would conflict with development plan policies and the Framework.
