Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the supply of family housing
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of outside space and a safe means of fire escape
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The loss of a 3-bedroom family dwelling in a borough with a documented shortfall of family housing, combined with the failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers regarding outside space and fire escape, outweighed any other considerations.
