Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the supply of housing in the borough
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants with particular reference to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The unacceptable loss of a dwelling to the detriment of housing supply in the borough, contrary to Policy DM2, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this conflict with the development plan.

The absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions was a neutral matter which neither weighed for nor against the proposal; the conflict with the development plan on housing supply was not outweighed by any other material considerations.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM2 of the Brighton and Hove City Council Plan Part Two 2022, Policy DM20 of the Brighton and Hove City Council Plan Part Two 2022
