Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether residential development at the appeal site is acceptable in principle; specifically, whether the proposal would result in the unnecessary loss of a community facility
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for affordable housing to meet local needs
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the development
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring buildings, specifically in respect of the effect of proposed vehicle parking provision
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
