Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the conversion of the dwelling into self-contained flats having regard to the residential character of Southbourne Crescent
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan by harming the residential character of a street predominantly characterised by single family dwellings and by failing to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants due to privacy concerns.
