Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development on the character of the area
  • Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for a HMO with particular reference to accessibility
  • The effects of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effects of the development on parking conditions

What decided it

The cumulative harm arising from adverse effects on character, accessibility, living conditions of neighbours through noise and disturbance, and parking provision, all conflicting with the development plan, with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh these harms.

Plan policies cited: Policy HOU04, Policy CDH01, Policy D3, Policy D14, Policy T4, Policy T6, Policy T6.1, Policy TRC03
