Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the provision of large family-sized dwellings
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and the provision of external amenity space
  • whether the proposal would provide an acceptable level of vehicle and cycle parking

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole, particularly Policy BH11 (loss of large family-sized dwelling in low PTAL area), the unacceptable outlook from Bedroom 3, and excessive vehicle parking provision, with no material considerations indicating the appeal should be decided otherwise.
