Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would result in the loss of a house suitable for family accommodation
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for cycle, refuse and recycling facilities
- Whether this is an appropriate location for the proposed development, with regard to the accessibility of the site
What decided it
The proposal would result in the permanent loss of a four-bedroom property suitable for family occupation, in direct conflict with DM Policy 6(1)(c) of the development plan, and no material considerations of sufficient weight justified determination otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
