Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed loss of a dwellinghouse upon the supply of family-sized housing
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory accommodation for its future occupants, with regards to private amenity space provision
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers with regard to privacy and noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building and the area

What decided it

The proposal would result in the unacceptable loss of family-sized housing without compensatory provision and would fail to provide satisfactory private amenity space for future occupants, contrary to the development plan.
