- Glasin J
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed 9 person HMO (Use Class Sui Generis) would be appropriately located, with particular regard to access to local services and public transport provision
- Whether the proposal provides acceptable living conditions for existing and future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal provides adequate car parking provision and the effect on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the development plan on multiple grounds: inappropriate location for HMO use, inadequate internal space standards for the increased occupancy, unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbours, and unresolved parking and highway safety concerns.
