Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the supply of homes of different sizes
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The property was not originally built as a three-bedroom house, therefore the conversion would not breach the policy protecting three-bedroom homes, and the limited number of occupants (5 persons) would not cause unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbours.
