Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the new dwelling with particular regard to light, outlook, privacy, standard of accommodation and private outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would provide an unacceptable standard of accommodation and living environment for future occupiers due to inadequate internal floor area, severely restricted light and outlook to the main living area, and poor quality private outdoor amenity space, which harm would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply.
The benefits of housing supply, building reuse and conservation area design were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers, which conflicted with the environmental objective of sustainable development
