Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in cumulative unacceptable harm to the positive residential character of the surrounding neighbourhood due to the concentration of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) within the immediate area. This would be particularly experienced by the occupiers of nos. 6 and 9 Nona Street which as a result of the proposed development would be immediately adjacent to more than one property in use as a HMO. The proposal would result in an unacceptable impact on the amenity of these neighbouring occupiers by reason of comings and goings and associated noise and disturbance, and would contribute to issues related to high population turnover levels that risk reducing community stability and social cohesion. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policies H1, F3, D5 and H10 of the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations and the National Planning Policy Framework. Article 35 Declaration The proposal would not improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area nor does it comply with the development plan and therefore does not comprise sustainable development. There were no amendments to the scheme, or conditions which could reasonably have been imposed, which could have made the development acceptable and it was therefore not possible to approve the application.

From the council's decision notice.
