Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupants, with regards internal communal space.
What decided it
The communal spaces would be too narrow and poorly equipped to provide satisfactory living conditions for the quantum of occupation proposed, conflicting with Local Plan policies requiring high levels of internal amenity.
The modest benefits of improved external appearance, efficient site use, and housing supply weighed moderately in favour of the proposal but did not outweigh the harmful aspects of providing unacceptable living conditions for future occupants.
Plan policies cited: Policy DMP 20, Policy DMP 1
