Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 14 and 18 Montbelle Road, with regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposed development on the highway network, with regard to parking provision
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance from the increased activity associated with an 8-unit HMO in a predominantly single-family residential area outweighed any benefits.
