Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the supply of family-sized housing in the Borough
  • whether future occupiers would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions in terms of a) communal facilities and b) privacy, with particular regard to the ground floor bedrooms
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for sustainable travel

What decided it

The proposal would result in the loss of a family-sized house and fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers regarding communal facilities and privacy, which are overriding considerations that conflict with the development plan.
