Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the supply of Class C3 dwellinghouses in the local area

What decided it

The submitted marketing evidence demonstrating unsuccessful marketing for at least 6 months satisfied criterion (b) of Policy S25, and the absence of any local shortage of Class C3 dwellinghouses meant the proposal would not materially harm the supply of such accommodation.
