Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, with particular regard to the access to services and facilities

What decided it

The proposed change of use would remain a form of residential use with similar occupancy levels to a large family dwelling, and therefore would not operate in a materially different way to the existing use in terms of access to services and facilities.
