Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not adequate living conditions would be created for future users, with particular regard to daylight, outlook, outside space and storage
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 313b and 317a High Road, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The failure to create adequate living conditions for future users, particularly regarding outlook, outside space and storage for the rear studio flat, brought the scheme into conflict with the development plan, and the modest benefits did not outweigh this conflict.
The modest benefits of providing an additional residential unit and business extension would not outweigh the conflict with the development plan arising from inadequate living conditions for future users.
