Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having particular regard to its accessibility to public transport and services
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The site's low PTAL rating of 1b, which fails to meet the sustainability requirements for large HMOs, combined with the unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions from the significantly increased occupancy and associated noise and disturbance.
