Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the site is suitable for the proposed development
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants with regard to internal communal amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network with regard to parking provision
- whether the proposed development makes suitable provision for sustainable travel with regard to parking provision and cycle storage
What decided it
The location's poor public transport accessibility (PTAL 2) fails to meet the minimum PTAL 3 requirement in the HMO SPD for shared accommodation, making the site unsuitable for the proposed development.
