Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the provision of family dwellings in the area
the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with particular reference to privacy

What decided it

The proposal does not conflict with the development plan, particularly Policy H10 2(n) which permits subdivision where a family-sized unit is retained, and the acoustic and privacy impacts can be satisfactorily managed within the existing regulatory framework.

Framework references: 58

Plan policies cited: Policy H10 2 (n), Policy H10 2 (a), Policy H7, Policy H8, Policy UD1, Policy UD2, Policy UD7, Policy GI8

- Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
- Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
- Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
- Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
