Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal will be contrary to local housing policies that seek to protect family housing
  • Whether the proposal will provide adequate living conditions for the occupiers of 164 Brownhill Road, with particular regard to the internal layout and the provision of built-in storage and private amenity space
  • Whether the proposal will provide adequate cycle storage

What decided it

The conversion results in an unacceptable loss of family housing stock contrary to local housing policies and fails to provide adequate living conditions for occupiers in terms of storage, amenity space and space standards.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM3, Policy D6, Policy 32, Policy D3, Policy 14, Policy T5
