Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to daylight, sunlight, and outlook for the rooms within the roof space, and external and internal layout
- Whether the proposed development would require a sustainable highway contribution
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants of the roof space bedrooms due to inadequate daylight and sunlight, which conflicts with development plan policies and cannot be outweighed by the modest housing supply benefits.
The modest weight given to housing supply and economic benefits was outweighed by the harm to living conditions of future occupants and lack of alternative transport options, as housing provision should not come at the cost of such matters
