Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the appeal scheme upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the four self-contained flats, with particular regard to internal accommodation and external amenity space
  • The living conditions of occupiers of the ground floor right flat, with particular regard to outlook, privacy and noise and disturbance
  • Parking
  • The character of the appeal property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The four-flat conversion fails to provide adequate internal accommodation and external amenity space contrary to development plan policies, and the outbuilding causes material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and the character of the area.
