- Goldberg V
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with reference to the provision of internal space
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residential properties, with reference to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed development would increase parking stress and congestion on Monks Avenue
What decided it
The property already operates as an HMO for six occupants, so the addition of one further resident would not materially alter existing levels of activity, noise, or parking demand when assessed against the established use.
