Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on housing provision within the area
- whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to housing provision by losing a 3-bedroom family dwelling and would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions due to inadequate private amenity space, both contrary to the development plan.
The limited benefits of providing two additional homes and economic benefits were outweighed by the harm to housing provision through loss of a 3-bedroom dwelling and failure to meet amenity space standards.
