Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the living conditions for occupiers of the accommodation is adequate, with particular regard to the size of the internal and outdoor space
- the effect of the outdoor space on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at No 11 Crossparks
- the effect of the on-site parking arrangements on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The transient nature of holiday accommodation use justified relaxation of space standards, and the location and limited size of the outdoor space, combined with adequate parking provision on a quiet road, meant the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
