Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing
- The living conditions of future residents with regards to amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the supply of family housing and would not provide suitable amenity space for residents of Flat 1, and these adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
The adverse impacts of the development, comprising loss of family housing and inadequate amenity space, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the identified benefits of adding to the mix and supply of dwellings, such that the proposal would not represent sustainable development.
