Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with specific regard to noise disturbance due to the potential extent of use of the building and the internal layout; in particular, the locations of the multi-use kitchen/dining/living rooms and the laundry room

What decided it

The multi-use rooms would be substantially larger than SPD recommendations and residents would distribute across three floors, preventing congestion; enhanced sound insulation and tenancy management conditions would mitigate noise concerns.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy HC4 of A Local Plan for Sefton, 2017
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 130
