Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the dwelling provides satisfactory living conditions for existing and future occupiers with particular regard to internal light, outlook, internal and external space
  • The suitability of the dwelling with respect to accessibility and transport choices

What decided it

The dwelling's complete lack of external amenity space and inadequate cycle storage provision meant it failed to comply with local plan policies requiring such facilities, rendering it unsuitable for residential use despite acceptable internal conditions and good transport accessibility.

Plan policies cited: WLP Policy DMH6, LP Policy D6, WLP Policy DMH4, WLP Policy DMH7, WLP Policy DMS1, LP Policies H1, LP Policies H2, LP Policy T2, WLP Policy DMT2, LP Policy T5
