Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the provision of the appeal property as a community facility taking into account the relevant development plan policy
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties with regard to noise and general disturbance
- the living conditions of the future occupiers with regard to amenity space
- the provision of parking spaces and the effect on on-street parking
What decided it
The proposal would result in an intensive use of the building as a 12-bed HMO generating significant noise and activity harmful to neighbouring residents' living conditions, combined with inadequate evidence that the community facility use is not viable and poor living conditions for future occupiers due to lack of amenity space.
