Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties

What decided it

The absence of suitable noise mitigation measures as part of the appeal scheme, combined with the appellant's own Noise Impact Assessment identifying the need for such measures, meant the development would cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions despite the fallback position of an extant 6-bedroom HMO permission.
