Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the supply of family housing within the area
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions of the future occupiers with particular regard to quality of the internal layout
- the effect of the proposal on the living condition of the neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed development would be located in an area with a high level of access to public transport and make provision for bike storage areas
- whether the proposed development has capacity to facilitate a bin storage area
What decided it
The 2-bedroom flat would constitute family housing under the Local Plan definition, and the proposal would not result in a net loss of family housing, thereby complying with Policy SP3.
