Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of the flats at the host property, with regard to provision of private external amenity space
What decided it
The existing poor condition and non-use of the rear land as amenity space, combined with the absence of development plan policies setting external amenity standards for flats, meant the proposed garage would not harm living conditions or character and appearance.
