Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would provide appropriate living accommodation, with particular regard to outlook and the provision of external space

What decided it

The failure to provide appropriate outlook for occupiers and usable communal external space as required by Policy SC5 meant the proposal would not provide appropriate living accommodation.

The modest weight in favour of efficient use of space did not outweigh the substantial weight of the conflict with the development plan.
