Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide future occupiers with adequate living conditions having regard to outlook
What decided it
The provision of adequate living conditions through a combination of window placement, oriel projections, communal garden amenity, and proposed landscaping mitigation, together with the unit sizes exceeding minimum standards, ensured future occupiers would not experience oppressive living conditions despite some restricted outlook from certain rooms.
