Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character of the area and the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The absence of specific evidence demonstrating that the HMO scheme would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, combined with compliance with development plan policies and the limited number of occupants subject to professional management.

The potential interference with neighbours' qualified rights under the Human Rights Act is proportionate when balanced against the need to uphold the operation of the planning system and the requirement for development to accord with the development plan.
