Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether adequate provision would be made for refuse
  • Whether the proposal would result in an unacceptable concentration of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), including having regard to its amenity impacts on the area

What decided it

The evidence demonstrated that HMOs represented only approximately 10-11% of properties in the immediate area, and the proposed 5-person HMO would likely reduce the property's occupancy compared to its existing lawful use, thereby avoiding any unacceptable concentration or significant adverse amenity impacts.
