Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the provision of family housing

What decided it

The loss of a family house through subdivision, contrary to the Council's adopted policies protecting family housing stock, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefit of 2 additional dwellings and the good design of the proposal.

The significant harm to family housing stock, in direct conflict with the adopted development plan, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited contribution of 2 additional dwellings and the neutral weight of good design, therefore the planning balance is not in favour of the proposal
