Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would comply with the limitations and conditions of the permitted development right relating to the provision of adequate natural light in all habitable rooms in accordance with Class MA Condition MA.2(2)(f) of the GPDO
  • Whether the proposed development would comply with the limitations and conditions of the permitted development right relating to the transport impact of the development taking particular account of safe access to the site in accordance with Class MA Condition MA.2(2)(a)
  • Whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from an office use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses), with particular reference to its effect on protected species

What decided it

The ground floor bedrooms would not receive adequate natural light at all times of day and year due to limited glazed openings, failing to comply with Class MA Condition MA.2(2)(f) of the GPDO.
