Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the supply of family housing within the area and whether it is suitably located
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to space standards and private outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on parking provision and highway safety
What decided it
The loss of family housing in an area of demonstrated need, combined with the site's poor transport accessibility and failure to meet HMO space and amenity standards, outweighed any benefits of the proposed development.
