Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, having regard to outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on the character of the area, having regard to the mix and balance of housing in the area
- Whether or not the proposed development would result in an unacceptable loss of a single family dwelling
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents, having regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed bedroom would have poor quality accommodation with inadequate outlook due to being lit solely by small rooflights, contrary to Policy H10 and NPPF paragraph 130, which the Inspector found could not be justified by the minimal benefits of accommodating one additional occupier.
Framework references: 130
