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.
Plan policies cited: Policy DMD 5, Policy DMD 8, Policy DMD 37, Policy DMD 47, Core Policy 5, Core Policy 4, Core Policy 30, Policy H10, Policy D6, Policy T5
