Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the balance of family sized housing within the Borough and on the character and appearance of the area in general
- the living conditions of future occupants of the property
- the provision of cycle parking facilities
- highway safety
What decided it
The addition of one occupant sharing an existing bedroom would not amount to a material change of use as a matter of fact and degree, notwithstanding the change in use class classification from C4 to Sui Generis.
The conflict with Policy LP6 was outweighed by the finding that the proposal would not materially alter the character and appearance of the property or area and would comply with Policies LP5 and LP26 seeking mixed, inclusive and sustainable communities.
Framework references: 12
