Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider the HMO fails to offer residents a good standard of living, through inadequate internal floor space, especially at second floor level. The proposal fails to meet the national minimum internal space standards as adopted by the Council and the quality of accommodation proposed is sub-standard and harmful to the living conditions of future occupants. As such, the application would fail to comply with Policy H6(A), and P10 of the Core Strategy, GP5 of the UDP as well as guidance contained within the emerging HMO, PBSA and Co-living Standards SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
