Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development provides adequate living conditions for occupants in terms of the amount of indoor space, outlook, privacy and noise
- The effect on the living conditions of nearby residents in terms of privacy, noise and lighting
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The development fails to provide adequate living conditions for occupants in terms of internal floor area, outlook and privacy, and causes loss of privacy to neighbouring residents, contrary to development plan policies that cannot be outweighed by the modest benefits of a single residential unit.
The modest benefits of residential accommodation in an urban area with good accessibility do not outweigh the harm to living conditions of occupants and neighbouring residents.
