Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed accommodation would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to amenity space, internal space standards, storage, floor to ceiling heights and cycle storage
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the existing flats at the appeal site primarily with regard to noise and privacy
What decided it
The lack of private or communal amenity space for Flats 2 and 3 and the harm to existing residents' living conditions through increased vehicle movements and noise in close proximity to their windows could not be justified by the benefit of providing new housing.
