Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal and external space and natural light
- whether the proposed development would support sustainable means of travel and mitigate its effects on the surrounding highway network
- whether the property is appropriate for residential conversion with regard to development plan policy
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Sibella Road Conservation Area
What decided it
The failure to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers in terms of internal space standards, dual-aspect accommodation, natural light and outlook, combined with the absence of legal agreements to secure sustainable travel measures, brought the proposal into conflict with the development plan which could not be outweighed by the conservation area benefits.
