Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: O'Brien L
Postcode: EN1 4AL

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the provision of housing in the area
whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to internal storage space and amenity space
whether or not the proposal would satisfactorily achieve sustainable design and construction standards in accordance with local planning policy

What decided it

The proposal would cause harm to the provision of housing in the area by converting a family dwelling without compensatory provision and would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, particularly regarding internal storage and amenity space.

The cumulative benefits associated with the additional dwellings and economic activity would not outweigh the harm to housing provision and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers.
