Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the dwelling provides acceptable living conditions for occupiers, with particular regard to the size of the accommodation and the provision of secure cycle parking
- The effect of the canopy on the character and appearance of the property and area generally
What decided it
The dwelling fails to provide satisfactory living conditions for occupiers due to its cramped size and lack of amenity space, and the canopy adversely affects the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area.
