Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for future occupiers

What decided it

The proposed accommodation falls significantly short of the 37 square metre minimum internal floor area required by the Technical Housing Standards for 1-person dwellings, resulting in cramped and unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
