Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed upper flat, with particular regard to internal living space and external amenity space
- The effect of the proposed roof extension on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed upper flat would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to insufficient internal living space and the complete absence of private external amenity space, conflicting with the development plan.
The acceptable character and appearance of the roof extension did not outweigh the failure to provide adequate internal living space and external private amenity space for the upper flat occupiers.
