Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether suitable living conditions are provided for the existing and future occupiers of the unauthorised flats, having regard to outdoor amenity space, internal floorspace, outlook and privacy
  • The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining residential property, having regard to noise and disturbance and on-street parking demand
  • The effect on the provision of housing suitable for families

What decided it

The unauthorised flats fail to provide suitable living conditions for existing and future occupiers due to inadequate internal floor space, poor outlook, insufficient daylight and privacy, and cramped accommodation, in conflict with the Development Plan and Framework.
