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 proposed ground floor property, with particular regard to internal storage space, outdoor amenity space and privacy
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • Whether the development would provide suitable secure cycle storage

What decided it

The loss of family-sized housing stock contrary to Policy H4 and the failure to provide acceptable living conditions for the ground floor flat occupiers, particularly regarding internal storage space and privacy, were decisive in dismissing the appeal.
