Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide an adequate standard of living accommodation for future residential occupiers, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The poor outlook from all four proposed flats, particularly the inadequate separation distances between windows and walls, failed to meet the minimum standards required by Policy DM29 and could not be justified by comparison to other permissions or alternative uses.
