Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme provides satisfactory living conditions for its occupants, with regards to internal space standards, outdoor amenity space and light
- The effect of the appeal scheme on car parking in the area
What decided it
The failure to provide satisfactory living conditions in terms of internal space standards, outdoor amenity space, daylight and sunlight, combined with inadequate parking provision in an area of poor public transport accessibility, outweighed the modest benefit of providing one additional residential unit.
