Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future residents, with particular regard to private internal and outside space
What decided it
The proposed flats would fail to provide sufficient internal space and the first floor flat would lack access to private outside space, resulting in unacceptable living conditions for future occupants contrary to the development plan.
The modest benefits of enhanced dwelling type choice and social and economic benefits from providing two one-bedroom flats would not outweigh the harm to future occupiers from inadequate living conditions.
