Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the supply of family sized housing in the Borough
- Whether the development proposed would be in a suitable location having regard to policies in respect of Houses in Multiple Occupation
- Whether the proposals would provide for satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to daylight, sunlight, outlook, ventilation, privacy and the access arrangements for the self-contained residential unit
- The effect of the proposals on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance, privacy, light spill and odour
What decided it
The proposals would cause unacceptable harm to the supply of family-sized housing in the Borough and would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, particularly due to inadequate daylight, ventilation and outlook in certain bedrooms.
