Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with particular regard to outlook from the bedroom windows, the provision of private amenity space and the use of the bin/cycle storage area
What decided it
The significantly restricted outlook from the bedroom windows, particularly the ground floor bedroom constrained by boundary treatment and the first floor bedroom requiring obscure glazing, would not provide the high standard of amenity required for new residential accommodation.
