Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the supply of residential accommodation in general and family housing in particular
- living conditions of future occupiers of the property
- living conditions at neighbouring properties
- highway safety
What decided it
The proposal makes efficient use of an existing dwelling to provide specialist residential accommodation for which there is demonstrated need, and the small scale of the use would not significantly affect housing supply or cause unacceptable impacts on neighbours or highway safety.
