Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the use of the outbuildings as self-contained units of accommodation upon the character of the Dagenham Village Conservation Area and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance thereof
  • The living conditions of occupiers of the appeal units with particular regard to the quality of the internal layout of the units
  • The living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties and present and future occupiers of the appeal units with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • The availability of car parking and the effect on highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The material change of use would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area character that was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of four additional dwellings and visual improvements to the buildings.
