Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the supply of family-sized housing
- Whether the development provides adequate living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to the provision of internal space, light and communal facilities
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate cycle storage provision
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal failed to meet the Policy DM17 requirement that the original gross internal floorspace exceed 120m², combined with the unacceptable loss of family-sized housing within a designated protection zone and inadequate living conditions for future occupiers.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM17, Policy SP2, Policy T5, Policy DM35, Policy DM1, Policy DM33
