Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that removing the condition would have on the living conditions of future occupants with particular regard to communal internal space
What decided it
The proposed dining area would fall below minimum size standards when a necessary pathway to the rear is provided, making it impossible to demonstrate adequate communal internal space for the maximum 6 occupants that removal of the condition would allow.
