Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development affects the housing stock and housing choice in the area

What decided it

The proposal constitutes a net loss of one residential unit contrary to Local Plan Policy HO8 and CPP2 Policy DM2, and the harm to housing stock and housing choice in the area is not outweighed by any material considerations.

The economic and tourism benefits of the proposal do not outweigh the harm to housing stock and housing choice in the area.
