Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the overall supply of housing in the Borough
- The supply of family sized accommodation
What decided it
The net loss of one residential unit in a borough with a substantial housing shortfall and inadequate delivery rate, contrary to development plan strategy to boost housing supply, outweighs the benefit of creating a family-sized dwelling.
The adverse impacts of the net reduction in housing supply, which conflicts with development plan objectives and occurs in a context of housing shortfall and inadequate delivery, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of creating a family-sized dwelling and the minimal social benefits, such that the proposal conflicts with the development plan and there are no material considerations including NPPF advice that outweigh this conflict.
