“would support local services”
The proposal split a first-floor-and-attic flat in a Doncaster terrace into two 1-bed flats. It was dismissed on living conditions: rooflight-only outlook from the main living room, an undersized two-storey flat, and a bin store over 100 m away. The key Framework move was DP3(3). Its "explicit design standards set out in the development plan" limb was triggered by the local plan's adoption of the national space standard (NDSS). The inspector gave that conflict substantial weight and treated it as a refusal-type policy, so the S4 benefits were substantially outweighed.
This decision was picked up by the search on the words above, which refer to services, not to a settlement tier. generic.
