Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers, with respect to the internal living accommodation and external amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would fail to provide adequate internal living accommodation and external amenity space, resulting in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to the constrained urban location and proximity of surrounding buildings.
