Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the housing stock of the area, with particular regard to family sized dwellings
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with respect to the quality of the internal space
- whether the proposal would provide appropriate facilities for cycle parking
- the effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking
What decided it
The development fails to accord with spatial housing policies protecting family-sized dwellings in Restricted Dwelling Conversion wards, provides inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, and would harm highway safety through unmitigated parking impacts.
