Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the Borough's stock of family housing
- whether the property provides acceptable living conditions for its occupants, with particular regard to the provision of internal living space
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The loss of a four-bedroom family dwelling, which is specifically protected by development plan policy and in short supply in the borough, combined with the wholly inadequate internal living conditions for occupants and significant unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance, meant the development was contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
