Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed increase in occupancy from six to eight residents would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the adequacy of the communal accommodation within the property

What decided it

The high standard of the bedrooms, provision of ensuite facilities throughout, availability of cooking facilities within some rooms, and the absence of objection from the Council's specialist Housing Standards Team satisfied the Inspector that acceptable living conditions would be provided.
