Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the supply of family sized homes within the Borough
  • Whether the proposals would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the development, with particular reference to internal living space, outlook and outdoor amenity space
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise disturbance
  • The effect of the proposed dormer extension on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The substantial harm to the supply of family homes in the Borough combined with the failure to provide acceptable living accommodation standards for future occupants, which was not outweighed by the modest benefit of creating an additional unit of poor quality accommodation.
