Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the supply of larger family-sized housing in the Borough
  • whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to internal space and storage

What decided it

The failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants of unit 12A, combined with the loss of larger family-sized housing, means the development conflicts with the development plan and material considerations do not indicate otherwise.
