Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the living conditions for future occupiers would meet acceptable standards
  • Whether the sub-division of the single dwellinghouse is appropriate
  • Whether acceptable provision can be made for waste and cycle storage
  • Whether the proposal would satisfactorily mitigate the transport impacts of the development and promote sustainable modes of transportation

What decided it

The cumulative failure to provide acceptable living standards for future occupiers, particularly the lower ground floor unit's considerable shortfall in floorspace and lack of adequate daylight and outlook, combined with development plan conflicts on sub-division and waste/cycle storage, outweighed the modest housing delivery benefit.

the modest benefit of two additional housing units in a sustainable location was outweighed by the adverse impacts of substandard accommodation and development plan conflicts, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
