Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the loss of a larger home
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of current and future occupiers as regards noise and disturbance
- the effect of the development on the level of waste created
- whether or not there is sufficient parking provision for occupiers of the development
What decided it
The loss of a larger family-sized home (3+ bedrooms) in an area where such accommodation is particularly required, combined with the creation of sub-standard smaller units that fail to meet minimum space standards, constitutes significant harm that is not outweighed by other considerations.
