Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to provision of internal floorspace
- the distribution of converted properties within the area
- highway safety, with regard to car parking
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for cycle and waste storage
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, combined with inadequate internal floorspace for future occupiers, outweighed the limited benefits of additional housing provision.
