Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the appeal property with regards to the floor area created

What decided it

The proposed development does not constitute the creation of a new dwelling but rather an extension of an existing residential flat, and therefore the minimum space standards in Policy D6 and the Technical Housing Standards do not apply.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy D6Policy DM1Policy DM26

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
