Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants in neighbouring properties, with regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 86 Castle Road, having regard to private amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 86 Castle Road, having regard to sunlight and outlook
What decided it
The proposed intensification would result in unacceptable adverse cumulative impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, and would provide inadequate private amenity space for the occupants, contrary to Policy DM11 of the DMBDPD.
Plan policies cited: Policy PG3, Policy TP27, Policy DM2, Policy DM10, Policy DM11, HMO SPD (2022)
