Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to private amenity space and internal space
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to car parking provision
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision to reduce carbon emissions and water use and adequate provision for sustainable drainage
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to insufficient internal floor area and inadequate private amenity space, combined with unacceptable effects on character and appearance and failure to demonstrate compliance with carbon emissions and sustainable drainage requirements.
