Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the proposal provides adequate living conditions for occupiers, with respect to the provision of internal and outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of No 8 Celia Crescent, the host property, having particular regard to outdoor space
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance, poor standard of living accommodation, and impact on the host property's living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the minimal contribution to housing supply.
the adverse impacts of granting planning permission significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
