Why it was refused

  1. The proposed change of use would result in the loss of a dwellinghouse that remains suitable for family occupation. Insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate that the property is no longer suitable for family occupation or that exceptional circumstances exist to justify its loss. The proposal would therefore undermine the objective of retaining family housing within the City and would be contrary to Policy 8 of the Aligned Core Strategy and Policies HO1, HO2 and HO6 of the Land and Planning Policies Document (LAPP).
  2. The proposed change of use would result in a materially more intensive form of occupation than the use of the property as a dwellinghouse. Having regard to the relationship of the property with neighbouring residential dwellings, the intensified occupation and associated activity would be likely to result in an unacceptable impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and a consequential erosion of residential amenity. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy and Policies HO6, DE1, DE2 and IN2 of the Land and Planning Policies Document.

From the council's decision notice.
