Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the principle and suitability of the alterations to the accommodation
- whether it has been demonstrated that the development would be functionally adequate as regards cycle and refuse storage/recycling, parking and fire safety
What decided it
The proposed conversion would result in a permanent loss of family-sized accommodation in conflict with local plan policies, compounded by functional inadequacy regarding amenity space, refuse storage, cycle storage, parking, and fire safety.
