Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties with regard to amenity space, privacy, noise and disturbance
- Whether the use of the outbuilding as a dwelling is acceptable for its current and future occupants in terms of space, privacy, outlook, accessibility and design
- The character and appearance of the area
- Car parking provision
What decided it
The development would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of occupants of the neighbouring flats through loss of privacy and mutual disturbance, and would provide substandard accommodation for future occupants in a cramped building with poor outlook and inadequate amenity space.
