Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of prospective occupiers with particular regard to outlook, natural daylight and room size
What decided it
The significant harm caused by poor levels of natural daylight and restricted outlook from the main communal living space in the basement outweighed the acceptable standard of the individual bedroom, resulting in overall poor living conditions that conflict with the development plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy H6 of the Leeds Local Plan Core Strategy (as amended by the Core Strategy Selective Review 2019), Saved Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006) Volume 1: Written Statement, Policy P10 of the Core Strategy
