Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character of the area and the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and parking

What decided it
The intensified occupation associated with the proposed HMO would harm the character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly with regard to noise, disturbance and parking pressure, and this harm outweighed the benefit of providing alternative residential accommodation.
the identified harms and conflicts relating to the character of the area and the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and parking, outweighed compliance with some policies of the development plan in terms of meeting local housing need
