Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposed development on the provision of small scale family accommodation in the Borough
- Whether the scheme would provide satisfactory living conditions for occupiers of the proposed new residential accommodation
- The effect of the proposed development on the residential amenities of neighbours
- The effect of the proposal on European designated sites of interest for wildlife conservation
What decided it
The proposed conversion would comprehensively fail to provide satisfactory standards of accommodation for new residents and existing neighbours while bringing about the loss of modest family accommodation, contrary to planning policy.
Although the local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five-year housing supply, the objections to the proposed development very significantly and demonstrably outweigh the supposed benefits, and the scheme conflicts with both national and local planning policies.
