Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the change of use on the housing mix in the area and the creation and maintenance of a balanced community
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The loss of a family-sized dwellinghouse in an area already containing 44.7% HMO/student accommodation, which would exacerbate the imbalance in housing mix and conflict with the development plan's aim to maintain balanced communities, outweighs the social benefit of providing additional HMO accommodation.
