Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance and housing mix in the area and the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- Whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for the occupants of the appeal property
- The effect of the development on parking in the area
What decided it
The development fails to provide acceptable living conditions for occupants due to inadequate communal space (20 sq m against required 31 sq m) and causes material harm to the character of the area and neighbouring residents' living conditions through increased occupancy levels.
