Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The occupancy of the proposed HMO would be limited to 5 people, which would not exceed the potential occupancy of the existing dwellinghouse, and no substantive evidence demonstrated that the proposal would cause additional noise, disturbance or highway harm that could not be controlled by conditions.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy DMH 5, Policy DMHB 11, Policy DMT 1, Policy DMT 2, Policy DMT 6, Policy T2, Policy T4, Policy T5, Policy T6.1
