Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on housing provision within the area
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to relevant housing standards and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of a single family dwelling contrary to the Council's housing mix priorities and would not meet the identified need requirement of Policy DM09, which was not sufficiently demonstrated by the appellant's evidence.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM09, Policy DM01, Policy CS5, Policy DM04, Policy D14, Policy D3
