Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the effectiveness and efficiency of industrial land provision
- living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to standard of accommodation including unit and room sizes; lighting; legibility and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The material consideration that the proposed self-contained flats would provide significantly improved living conditions for future occupiers compared to the existing HMO use outweighed the policy conflicts regarding amenity space quality and single-aspect design.
