Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
- The proposed development of a seven (7) bed HMO would result in excessive intensification of use giving
rise to constrained living space for future occupiers and to undue levels of disturbance and noise, resulting in
a detrimental impact on the amenities of adjoining properties and its location within an area predominantly
characterised by family housing. As such, the development is therefore contrary to the National Planning
Policy Framework (2024) and Policy HO10 of adopted Harrow Local Plan 2021-2041 (2026).
