Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitably located to accommodate the proposed development, having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan and access to services and sustainable transport
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers
- whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for urban greening
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole on three main issues—locational suitability, character and appearance, and living conditions—and no material considerations indicate a decision should be made other than in accordance with the plan.
The limited benefit of additional HMO accommodation without loss of self-contained housing did not outweigh the harm identified through conflicts with the development plan relating to locational suitability, character and appearance, and living conditions.
