Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed alterations to the design of the live/work unit would continue to satisfy Policy SWDP8 G parts i. and iii of the South Worcestershire Development Plan

What decided it

The proposed work floorspace of 60% with dedicated facilities (separate entrance, toilet, workshop, office and meeting room) satisfies the policy requirement for genuine live/work accommodation and would not be prevented from functioning as such by the consistency of external design features.
