Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed change of use is acceptable in principle, having regard to the relevant planning policies relating to amenity space land
- the effects of the development on the area's character and appearance
What decided it
The proposed change of use would result in an unacceptable loss of designated Amenity Green Space contrary to Policy N3, with none of the policy exceptions applying.
The benefit to the single household occupying 13 Church Street was outweighed by the loss of amenity space to the local community as a whole, and this conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by any other material considerations.
