Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The loss of an existing four-bedroom family dwelling and demand for a 4-bed house in multiple occupation in this location
- Whether the proposal would provide appropriate private outdoor amenity space for future occupiers
What decided it
The proposal would result in the formal loss of a four-bedroom family dwelling in an area with demonstrated need for such housing, contrary to local plan policies requiring retention of the city's family housing stock and evidence of lack of demand for single-family use.
