Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the loss of the existing premises on the provision of local community facilities in the area
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers having regard to internal space

What decided it

The proposal fails on two independent grounds: inadequate market testing of the building's potential for community use contrary to Policy CSU2, and substandard residential accommodation below the NDSS contrary to Policy GC4.
