Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would secure adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, natural light, outlook and external space
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to secure adequate living conditions for future occupiers, particularly Flat 2, due to poor natural light, outlook, privacy and inadequate private external space for both units, which represents a significant conflict with development plan policies and the Framework.
The benefits of delivering new housing in a highly accessible location and making use of an existing building did not outweigh the significant failure to deliver adequate living conditions for future occupiers.
