Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the supply of family housing in the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of its occupiers having regard to the provision of internal floorspace
  • whether the proposed development promotes sustainable transport
  • whether the submitted plans are sufficient to allow an accurate comparison of the existing development and the proposed development

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with the development plan on three material grounds: loss of family housing, inadequate internal floorspace for occupiers, and failure to secure car club membership for residents.
