Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it would be undesirable for the building to change to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouse), having regard to the effect on the sustainability of the shopping area
  • Transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The parade did not form a key shopping area and the proposal would not undermine the sustainability of the shopping area, combined with the very limited transport and highways impacts of converting a single ground floor retail unit to a studio flat.
