Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the use on the living conditions of occupants with regard to the standard of accommodation
  • The effect of the use on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the use on the supply of family housing in the borough
  • The effect of the use on accessibility and parking

What decided it

The use conflicts with policies DMP1, BH7 and BH11 of the Local Plan due to inadequate living conditions for occupants and neighbours, and the loss of family-sized housing, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these conflicts.

Plan policies cited: Policy D6, Policy BH13, Policy BH7, Policy DMP1, Policy BH11, Policy BT2, Policy T6, Policy T6.1
