Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The loss of commercial floorspace in a Neighbourhood Centre
- Whether future occupiers of the development would have acceptable standards of internal and external space
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on occupiers of the adjoining property
- The effect of the development on parking
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide acceptable bedroom space standards in the detached house and would result in poor-quality design that harms the character and appearance of the area, particularly through the visually prominent rear extension and the new dwelling's siting that projects forward of the established building line.
