Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on community facilities in the area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions with particular reference to internal living space and external amenity space

What decided it

The lack of convincing evidence that the community facility use was no longer required, combined with inadequate marketing information, resulted in an unacceptable loss of a community facility that could not be outweighed by the provision of adequate housing.
