Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development upon the living conditions of occupiers of the resulting apartments, with particular regard to quality and quantity of internal accommodation
  • The effects of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The appeal scheme fails to provide an acceptable standard of amenity and living conditions for occupants, particularly due to significant shortfalls against the NDSS minimum floor areas for three of four apartments and severely compromised outlook for apartment 3.
