Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the supply of family sized housing within the borough
- Whether the development would provide appropriate living conditions for the occupiers of the appeal property, with particular regard to outdoor space and internal storage space
- The effect of the development upon the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the development would provide suitable secure cycle storage
What decided it
The loss of a 3-bedroom family dwelling, which would undermine the Council's objective to retain and increase family housing in the borough, combined with the failure to provide adequate private outdoor space for future occupiers of the upper floor flats, rendered the development unacceptable despite the absence of harm to neighbouring properties.
