Why it was refused
- The proposed use of the former garage as a separate Class C4 House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) would result in an intensification of HMO provision within an area already experiencing a significant over concentration of such uses, thereby prejudicing the creation and maintenance of a balanced, sustainable and mixed community. The proposal would also fail to contribute to the provision and retention of family housing and does not meet identified local housing needs. As such, the development is contrary to Policy 8 of the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategy (ACS) and Policies HO1 and HO6 of the Land and Planning Policies (LAPP).
- The proposed use of the former garage as a Class C4 House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), by reason of its scale, form and intensity of occupation disproportionate to the size of the building, would result in an unacceptable intensification of use. This is likely to give rise to increased levels of noise and disturbance, poor property upkeep, inadequate waste management, increased on- street parking pressures, and a high turnover of occupants, which would be incompatible with the character of the property and surrounding area. The cumulative impact of these factors would result in material harm to the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers and the wider area, contrary to Policy 10 of the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategy (ACS) and Policies DE1, IN2 and HO6 of the Land and Planning Policies (LAPP).
- The compromised outlook and impaired natural light levels within the proposed bedrooms would adversely affect the living conditions of future occupants, contrary to policy 10 of the ACS and policy DE1 of the LAPP.
