Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the acceptability of the loss of the business use
- the adequacy of living conditions for future occupiers in relation to outlook and amenity space provision
- the impact of a proposed window on the eastern elevation on the development potential of adjoining land
- the impact of the proposal on on-street parking stress
What decided it
The material consideration of the extant prior approval for residential conversion, which would likely be implemented if the appeal were dismissed, justified allowing the appeal despite policy conflicts, as the current proposal represents a preferable conversion with tangible improvements over the fallback scheme.
