In a statement of approval, planning officer Chloe Timm wrote: “The change of use provides a good level of accommodation for the occupiers of the HMO, does not impact on the amenities of the surrounding occupiers or the visual amenity of the area. The application is found to be in accordance with national and local policy.”
