Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether future occupiers would have satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to noise and disturbance and the proposed communal areas
- the location of the proposed HMO
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would be harmful to the living conditions of both neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers through excessive noise and disturbance and inadequate communal facilities, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high standards of amenity.
