“support for local services, shops, and facilities”

Summary

Conversion and upward extension of a former school building in Hull to 37 student bedrooms was dismissed on design alone. The inspector found against the Council on the loss of a community use, the concentration of houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and neighbours' privacy. But the extensions conflicted with DP3(1) without clear justification, which engaged the S4(2)(c) refusal trigger and outweighed the benefits.
