Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • local housing need
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupants
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide adequate internal floor space and functional communal areas to meet development plan standards for the proposed occupancy of 10 persons, and would generate unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring properties through the concentration of unrelated adults with individual daily schedules.
