Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the development would provide an appropriate housing mix
What decided it
The existence of an extant planning permission for conversion to three flats with identical extensions and alterations, which established both the principle of subdivision and a material fallback position, meant that any conflict with Policy DM01 carried limited weight and the proposal could be assessed on its own merits.
