Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would lead to an overconcentration of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO), and its effect on the character of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants in regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether the development would include suitable provision for refuse storage

What decided it

The modest increase in occupancy by one person from an already-established HMO use, combined with the submission of an HMO Management Plan and appropriate refuse storage provision, did not result in unacceptable impacts on character or neighbouring amenity.
