Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site offers an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to access to public transport and local services
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area

What decided it

The appeal site, despite its PTAL 2 rating, offers sufficient access to public transport and local services on foot to support the proposed intensification, and the conversion would not harm character and appearance, thereby according with the development plan.
