Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would contribute towards building a stable, mixed and sustainable community, with particular regard to the supply of family sized homes
- Whether the proposed development would provide an acceptable standard of living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space and internal living accommodation
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide equivalent floorspace for the 3-bed unit as required by NLP policy H4 and fails to ensure adequate outdoor amenity space access for the upper floor flat, contrary to the development plan's aim of protecting family housing and creating healthy neighbourhoods.
