Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would adhere to the Council's housing strategy with regards to the provision of family sized dwellings
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at 5 Susannah Street, with particular regard to outlook, light and sense of enclosure
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan by resulting in the loss of a family-sized dwelling contrary to Policies S.H1 and D.H7, and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided other than in accordance with the development plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy D.H7, Policy S.H1, Policy D.DH8
