Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the provision of family housing and character of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants with particular regard to adequate internal space, noise insulation and provision of outdoor amenity space
- The effect of the development on the adequate provision of bin storage
What decided it
The conversion results in the loss of a family-sized home and fails to deliver the policy-required minimum of one three-bedroom unit, contrary to the development plan's housing priorities, and lacks sufficient evidence to demonstrate adequate living conditions for occupants.
