Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the supply of family housing in the Borough
- the living conditions of the future occupiers of the new flat and new maisonette with particular reference to the standard of internal accommodation
What decided it
The development would result in the permanent loss of family housing in a restricted dwelling conversion ward and would create uncertainty about adequate internal heights for future occupiers of the maisonette, both matters attracting significant weight against the scheme and conflicting with the development plan.
The limited benefits of economic activity and housing supply were outweighed by the significant harm to the availability of family housing and the failure to ensure suitable living conditions for future occupiers.
