Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing
  • whether living conditions for future occupiers would be acceptable having regard to outlook and natural light for Flat 1 and the internal area and layout of Flat 2
  • whether the proposed access and parking arrangements would be acceptable having regard to pedestrian and highway safety and support for use of sustainable transport modes
  • the effect of the proposal on flood risk

What decided it

The proposal would result in an unacceptable loss of family housing, fail to provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, inadequately support sustainable transport modes, and fail to demonstrate acceptable flood risk management, with these cumulative adverse impacts far outweighing the modest benefit of one additional dwelling.
