Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the stock of family housing in the Borough
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, including their living standards and health and wellbeing, with regard to privacy, and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The loss of a 4-bedroom family home in a Borough where only six percent of homes have four or more bedrooms, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, particularly the loss of family housing stock, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited social and economic benefits and modest housing contribution, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply and the proposal should be determined against the development plan.
