Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would result in the loss of a large protected single family dwelling
  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of the proposed flats

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and the protection of larger family dwellings, combined with modest benefits that do not outweigh this conflict under the tilted balance, led to dismissal.

The modest benefits of one additional dwelling, small-scale economic benefits, and the lack of harm to neighbouring amenity were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impact of eroding the stock of larger dwellings and conflicting with the development plan's spatial strategy
