Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory living environment for future occupiers
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory and safe access and parking, including in relation to access to the neighbour's garage
What decided it
The poor outlook from the bedrooms in the converted dance studio and one flat, resulting from their proximity to site boundaries, would not provide a satisfactory living environment for future occupiers and would conflict with development plan policies and the NPPF.
