Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the property and location are suitable for the proposed HMO use, having particular regard to the need for such housing, the effect on the housing mix (including the supply of family housing), and the effect on the character of the area
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of a dwelling suitable for family occupation and its replacement with five HMO rooms, conflicting with the development plan's housing mix priorities, and there was insufficient evidence of an identified need for HMO accommodation to justify this departure.
