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.
Framework references: 135
Plan policies cited: Policy DMH 4, Policy DMHB 18, Policy DMEI 10, Policy DMHB 15, Policy DMEI 2, Policy D6, Policy D7, Policy D11, Policy SI 13, Policy SI 2
