In March Dudley Council said no to an application to change an office building on Holloway Street in Lower Gornal into an HMO for 12 people.
An appeal by CJP Homes Limited to The Planning Inspectorate has been granted meaning the development can now go ahead.
In his adjudication, planning inspector Samuel Watson said: “The proposal would not cause any unacceptable impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers by way of noise, disturbance or loss of privacy.”
The building was formerly The Crown pub before being converted into offices for a swimming pool company.
