Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would result in more than 10% of properties on Kingsend being redeveloped into flats contrary to Policy DMH 4 of the Local Plan
- the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to their accessibility to amenity space
What decided it
The Inspector's interpretation that Policy DMH 4's 10% threshold applies only to redevelopment (demolition and new-build) and not to conversions of existing dwellings, which allowed the proposed scheme to fall within the policy limit.
