Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it would be undesirable for the building to change to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouse), having regard to adequate provision of services and the sustainability of the shopping area

What decided it

The proposal would have a harmful effect on the provision of services and the sustainability of the key shopping area by introducing a residential use at ground floor level, resulting in the permanent loss of an integral part of the retail frontage and reducing the range of businesses within the shopping street.
