Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the existing use constitutes a small family dwellinghouse
  • the effect of the development on the retention of residential accommodation stock in the Bournemouth District Wide Local Plan (2002) area

What decided it

The property does not constitute a small family dwellinghouse and the environment is unsatisfactory for residential use, satisfying the criteria for loss of residential accommodation under the development plan.

the loss of a single dwelling, which would be unsatisfactory for residential use in its setting, was outweighed by accordance with the development plan policies, notwithstanding the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply
