Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the supply of housing suitable for family occupation in the area
- whether or not the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers having particular regard to the provision of outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential properties having particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of a family dwelling contrary to Policy H3 which expressly gives priority to family housing in North Manchester, and this harm cannot be outweighed by the neutral or positive effects on other planning considerations.
Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy H3, Policy DM1, Policy DC5, Policy T2, Policy DC26
