Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host property, the terrace, and the surrounding area
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to internal space standards
- Appeal A only: the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
Both appeals fail on character and appearance grounds; Appeal A additionally fails because the proposed 70.5 sq.m floorspace falls significantly short of the 93 sq.m minimum standard required for a 3-bedroom 5-person dwelling, providing unsuitable living conditions.
