Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the supply of family housing in the borough
- whether the proposal would encourage the use of sustainable transport modes, with particular reference to cycling
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of family housing without replacement and without robust evidence demonstrating that the specialist use justified this loss, contrary to development plan policies protecting housing stock and requiring appropriate housing mix.
