Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether the standard of accommodation would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the development
What decided it
The lack of any bathroom facilities in the proposed units rendered them uninhabitable and incapable of providing acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, which was an overriding matter that outweighed the otherwise acceptable character and appearance findings.
