Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the notice constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
  • The effect of the use on the supply of family housing in the borough
  • The effect of the use on the living conditions of occupants with regard to the standard of accommodation
  • The effect of the use on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The harmful loss of a family home, contrary to the Framework's principles for creating well-designed places with mixed and integrated communities, substantially outweighed the benefits of providing a greater choice of housing types.

The benefits of providing a greater choice of housing types and making efficient use of existing housing stock were substantially outweighed by the harmful loss of a family home and harm to living conditions of occupants and neighbours, when assessed against the Framework's national decision-making policies.
