Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development has resulted in the unacceptable loss of family accommodation
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants, with particular regard to the standard of internal accommodation
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether or not the development causes parking stress and congestion in the interests of highway safety
What decided it
The standard of internal accommodation, particularly the lack of wash hand basins in bedrooms and insufficient shared bathroom facilities for 9 occupants, would harm the living conditions of occupants contrary to Policy 8 of the Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy 8, Policy 7, Policy 24
