Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal development on the mix of housing in the area
  • the effect of the appeal development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise, disturbance, anti-social behaviour and crime
  • whether the appeal development provides acceptable living conditions for occupants, with particular reference to internal space

What decided it

The appeal development conflicts with Policy H6 of the Leeds Core Strategy by causing harm to housing mix, contributing to cumulative impacts from high HMO concentration, and failing to provide acceptable living conditions for occupants.
