Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of internal space, private outdoor amenity space and noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance and the demand for car parking
What decided it
The proposed basement flats would fail to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers due to insufficient internal space, limited light and ventilation, and lack of private outdoor amenity space, conflicting with Policies SP1 and DM1 of the Core Strategy and the Manchester Residential Quality Guidance.
Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy DM1, saved Policy DC5
