Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the use of No 46 as four flats (including studio apartment) on the character of the area with particular regard to the effect on the supply of family housing
- the effect of the use of No 46 as four flats (including studio apartment) on highway safety with particular regard to parking
- the effect of the use of No 46 as four flats (including studio apartment) on the living conditions of future occupiers of the studio apartment with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers of the studio apartment with regard to privacy, resulting from its location on a narrow passageway with direct views from users accessing the rear garden, outweighed any benefits of the proposal.
The benefits of providing housing choice and a mix of dwelling sizes were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of the studio apartment occupiers through loss of privacy.
