Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the subdivision of the property is appropriate, having regard to the supply of family housing
- Whether it would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal floor space
- The effect of the proposal on parking and highway safety
- Whether adequate bicycle and refuse storage can be provided within the site
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds including loss of family housing, inadequate internal space standards, insufficient and substandard parking provision, and lack of bin storage, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise.
Plan policies cited: Policy LP4, Policy LP3, Policy LP27, Policy LP56
