Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the supply of housing, having regard to local and national policy
What decided it
The demonstrable environmental and parking benefits of the proposal, combined with the provision of a good standard of accommodation with no net loss of bedrooms, qualified it as an exception to the housing retention policies and outweighed the detrimental impact on housing supply.
The loss of one dwelling and detrimental impact on housing land supply was outweighed by the demonstrable environmental benefits, parking reduction, improved accommodation standards, and compliance with development plan policies that permit exceptions to housing retention requirements.
Plan policies cited: Policy LP38 of the Richmond Local Plan 2018, Policy 14 of the emerging Local Plan
