Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide existing and future occupiers of No 1 Cleveland Square and the proposed flat with acceptable living conditions with particular reference to privacy and, also in the case of future occupiers of the proposed flat, with particular reference to ventilation
- The effects of the proposal on the availability of local services to persons in the area
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable living conditions for either existing or future occupiers depending on whether controls were imposed on the bedroom window, creating an irresolvable conflict that could not be mitigated by condition.
