Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with specific regard to internal space and amenity space
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable refuse storage facilities
What decided it
The amended floor plan showing a shower room instead of bathroom brought the smaller unit into compliance with minimum space standards, and the accessible location with surrounding public open space outweighed the policy conflict regarding private amenity space.
