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.
