Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of the HMO regarding the management of the property, the distribution of internal communal space across the property and the amount of space within the attic bedroom
whether the proposal protects occupants from the effects of flood risk

What decided it

The proposal would result in unacceptable living conditions for HMO occupants due to inadequate management and communal space distribution, and would fail to protect ground floor occupants from flood risk.

Framework references: 170

Plan policies cited: Policy CS9, Policy CS13, Policy H12, Policy A1
