Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the development on character and appearance of the area
- effect of the development on living conditions of future occupiers in respect of internal and external space
What decided it
The proposal would not adversely affect the character and appearance of the area and would significantly improve internal living space for future occupiers, which on balance outweighed the lack of external amenity space given the site constraints and proximity to public greenspace.

- Development plan policies
- LP26LP30LP29
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 126Paragraph 130
