Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers of the flats with regards to private amenity space and usable internal floor space
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for secure, covered, convenient and accessible cycle parking
- The effect of the development on pedestrian mobility and the character and appearance of the area in terms of the arrangements for refuse storage and collection
What decided it
The proposal would not provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers with regards to private amenity space, contrary to the development plan, and no material considerations indicated the decision should be made otherwise.
The limited benefits of adding one housing unit and providing dual-aspect flats were outweighed by the lack of suitable living conditions regarding private amenity space and inadequate cycle parking provision.
