Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the Borough's family housing stock
- Whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for the future occupiers, with particular regard to the amount of internal floorspace proposed
- Whether the proposed development would provide an adequate level of parking provision for future occupiers
What decided it
The proposed development would conflict with the development plan taken as a whole through loss of family housing, substandard accommodation for future occupiers, and inadequate parking provision, which harms would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of three additional dwellings.

- Policy DM16Policy SP2Policy D6Policy DM32Policy SP7Policy DM31
