Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the unauthorised flats on the local housing mix, having regard to the availability of family housing
  • Whether there are suitable living conditions for the existing and future occupiers of the unauthorised flats, having regard to internal floorspace, outlook and noise and disturbance
  • The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining residential property, having regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effect on highway safety, having regard to cycle and car parking
  • Whether suitable provision for refuse storage can be made

What decided it

The unauthorised flats failed to accord with the development plan across multiple policy areas—housing mix, living conditions, and highway safety—and these cumulative breaches could not be overcome by the adequate refuse storage provision.
