GREAT NEWS !

The Appeal Inspector has decided to dismiss the applicant’s appeal against the City Council’s refusal of 22/0397, an application for 10 bedroom purpose built student accommodation in the rear garden of 47 Union Road, itself a student House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) with a licence to accommodate 13 tenants. A victory for all those individuals who submitted objections in defence of our Neighbourhood Plan.

The Inspector agreed that the proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area, and with regard to the Neighbourhood Plan failing to comply with a number of policies: C2, EN4, EN5, and D1.
