Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring homes
  • The effect on the character of the area

What decided it

The intensification from a 6-person C4 HMO to 8 or 9 independent occupants in a closely-spaced residential cul-de-sac would generate unacceptable levels of noise, activity and disturbance to neighbouring residents and harm the character of the area.
