Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the property is suitable for conversion in principle, having regard to the development plan policies, the availability of family accommodation and the clustering of flatted schemes in the area
whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, with particular reference to the size of the internal accommodation
whether or not the proposed cycle storage arrangements comply with local policy and guidance

What decided it

The proposal would result in the loss of a three-bedroom family unit without compensatory provision and would breach clustering restrictions under Policy DMD 5, contrary to the development plan's requirement to maintain a mix of house sizes and protect family accommodation.
