Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with specific regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the development on the provision of larger housing stock around Urban Barnsley and the Town Centre

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with Policy H9 of the Barnsley Local Plan, which resists conversion of larger dwellings for alternative uses, and the evidence provided did not justify relaxation of this policy.
