Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the site and the floor area of the dwelling is suitable for the proposed development
- the effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network with regard to parking provision
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants in regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The material consideration of great weight from the similar appeal decision at 88 Greencroft Road, which accepted an HMO in the same location with similar floorspace constraints, combined with the absence of demonstrated harm to highway safety, parking, or neighbour amenity, outweighed the conflict with Policy SC10 floorspace requirements.
Plan policies cited: Policy SC10, Policy EC2, Policy CC2
