Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the supply of small family housing in the borough
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers in relation to housing standards
- whether or not the proposal would function effectively having regard to the provision of cycle storage
- whether the proposal would make acceptable provision for sustainable transport improvements and enhancements
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with multiple development plan policies regarding family housing supply, housing space standards, cycle storage design, and sustainable transport contributions, with positive elements insufficient to outweigh the demonstrable harm.
