Why it was refused

  1. The proposed use of the application property as a House in Multiple Occupation for up to six adults would represent an intensification of use over and above what would normally be expected in a two bedroom residential property and would result in unacceptable noise and disturbance to the detriment of the amenity that the occupiers of neighbouring properties could reasonably expect to enjoy. As such, the proposed APPLICATION NUMBER – 118110/FUL/26 ARFULZ development would be contrary to Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy and policies in the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
