Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on housing mix
  • the effect of the proposal on the character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would not have a harmful effect on housing mix or the character of the area and living conditions of neighbours, as the property already operates as an HMO and the addition of one occupant would result in only modest increased activity.
