Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of Flat 1, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
  • Whether or not the proposal makes adequate car parking provision
  • Whether or not the proposal makes adequate provision for cycle parking and refuse storage
  • The effect of the proposed balconies, railings and privacy screens on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed conversion into three flats would create unacceptable living conditions for Flat 1 occupiers due to inadequate privacy and outlook, combined with insufficient car parking provision and poor cycle and refuse storage arrangements, all conflicting with the development plan.
