Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of potential future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space and layout
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of potential future occupiers, with particular regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The proposed apartments would fail to comply with the Nationally Described Space Standard and Policy H2 requirements for internal space and layout, and would not meet Policy D5 separation distance requirements for light and outlook, causing unacceptable harm to the living conditions of future occupiers.

Framework references: 56, 130

Plan policies cited: Policy D5, Policy H2, Policy H7, Policy D7, Policy HOU2
