Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed change of use
  • whether the development would make an appropriate contribution to affordable housing

What decided it

The proposal complied with Policy LP27 and was located in a sustainable, accessible location supporting housing delivery, while the loss of one commercial unit in a non-designated frontage would not materially harm the local centre's vitality and viability.

the benefits of residential development in a sustainable location and contribution to housing supply, together with the secured affordable housing contribution, outweighed the minor conflict with Policy LP25 regarding loss of commercial space in a local centre
