Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the alleged development on the supply of housing

What decided it

The use of the studio flat as temporary sleeping accommodation for more than 90 nights in a calendar year constitutes a material change of use that results in the loss of permanent residential accommodation, contrary to the development plan policies that seek to protect and maximise housing supply.

The loss of permanent residential accommodation to temporary sleeping accommodation was weighed against the appellant's business reasons for the conversion, with the housing supply objective prevailing.
