Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the supply of family-sized dwellings in the Borough
- The effect of the proposed development on the availability of on-street parking and the use of sustainable modes of transport
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan by reducing family-sized housing supply in a restricted conversion area and would harm the parking environment without a feasible means of securing permit-free status.
The contribution to housing needs for certain sectors of the community was outweighed by the conflict with development plan policies protecting family-sized housing supply and managing parking stress.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS2, Policy DM6, Policy CS13, Policy DM16
