Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision is well-founded, turning on whether the proposal amounted to 'development' as defined by section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The loss of one residential unit has only a de minimis effect on housing delivery and the resulting two-bedroom dwelling reflects the largest proportion of required market housing, therefore the proposal does not amount to a material change of use.
