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.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HO10 of the Harrow Local Plan 2021-2041 (2026)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
