Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would cause harm to the housing stock
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the proposed amalgamated flat with regard to whether a coherent or functional living environment would be created as well as the occupiers Flat 94B with regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposal on flood risk
What decided it
The proposal would maintain the overall number of self-contained dwellings on the site and introduce a smaller unit to address identified housing need, thereby satisfying the principal aim of Policy H5 to resist reductions in overall housing stock despite the loss of a larger family-sized dwelling.
Plan policies cited: Policy H5, Policy H4, Policy H15, Policy DH1, Policy RE7, Policy RE8, Policy RE3, Policy RE4, Section 12 of the Summertown and St Margaret's Neighbourhood Plan
