Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties
What decided it
The provision of a substantial communal living area for all occupants, which significantly mitigates the living conditions compromise for bedroom No 5 and provides considerable amenity benefit, outweighs the limited conflict with Policy H10(2(i)).
Plan policies cited: Policy H7, Policy H10, Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 7: Conversion of Buildings into Flats and Bedsits
