Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the availability of smaller family housing in the borough
  • The living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • Whether the development provides suitable provision for cycle parking and refuse storage
  • Whether the change of use facilitates a car-free development that encourages walking, cycling and the use of public transport

What decided it

The loss of a smaller family house below the 120 square metre threshold protected by Policy DM17 of the Development Management DPD outweighed the absence of harm in other respects.
