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 provides appropriate living conditions for occupiers of the appeal property, with particular regard to outdoor space and means of escape
- The effect of the development on living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The loss of a 3-bedroom family dwelling suitable for family occupation, combined with inadequate outdoor space access and undemonstrated fire safety means of escape for occupiers, outweighed the limited benefit of additional housing choice.
