Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regards to internal and external space provision
- Whether the proposed development would provide sufficient and appropriate arrangements for the storage of cycles and refuse
What decided it
The proposed ground floor flat's internal floor area falls substantially short of minimum standards, and the upper flat lacks adequate access to external amenity space, while the front garden cannot accommodate required cycle and refuse storage without harming the street's character.
