Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide appropriate living conditions for the future occupiers of the development, with particular reference to the provision of gardens and internal space
What decided it
The first-floor flat would have no access to private garden space, preventing appropriate living conditions for all future occupiers and causing significant harm that outweighed the limited housing benefits.
The significant harm arising from the lack of appropriate garden space for all occupiers of the proposed development significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal
