Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to living accommodation, outlook and private amenity space

What decided it

The proposal would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with the adverse impact of granting permission significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits of providing one additional dwelling when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

The benefits of providing one additional dwelling and making efficient use of existing space were outweighed by the significant harm caused by poor living conditions (restricted headroom, confined rooms, severely restricted outlook), such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
