Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and light
- the effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing
What decided it
The deficient natural light provision to the basement kitchen/dining room of Flat 1 through the proposed lightwell would result in poor living conditions for future occupiers, conflicting with development plan policies requiring adequate daylight and sunlight.
Plan policies cited: SP2.8, DM10, SP2.7, DM1.2, H2
