Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the unauthorised use on the living conditions for the occupiers of the appeal building with particular regard to privacy, outlook, daylight, sunlight and the provision of floorspace and amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions created for occupiers of the ground floor 1-bedroom flat, particularly poor daylight, sunlight, outlook, privacy and substandard internal floorspace, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefit of one additional dwelling.
The adverse impacts of the unauthorised use in terms of harm to living conditions for occupiers of the one-bedroom ground floor dwelling significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits associated with one additional one-bedroom flat, even applying the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11d of the Framework.
