Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site location is acceptable for a large HMO use
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of No 34 and 38 St Kildas Road in relation to noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the future occupiers in relation to the spaciousness of the living accommodation

What decided it

The proposal involves only one additional occupier to an existing six-bedroom HMO with no external changes, resulting in no discernible impact on the character of the street or the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
