Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the development would provide suitable living conditions for occupiers of the appeal property with regards to the shared living spaces
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on on-street parking provision in the area
What decided it
The loss of a larger dwelling contrary to Policy H9's aim to ensure supply of larger dwellings and appropriate housing mix, combined with unsuitable living conditions in the shared lounge due to inadequate daylight and outlook.
