Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether suitable living conditions are provided for the existing and future occupiers of the flats, having regard to internal floorspace and private outdoor amenity space
  • Whether the use as five flats supports sustainable transport objectives in the Development Plan, having regard to the parking of vehicles and the provision made for cycle parking and storage
  • The effect of the part single storey, part two storey rear extension on the character and appearance of the building and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the extension on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to outlook

What decided it

The development fails to provide suitable living conditions for occupiers, does not support sustainable transport objectives, and causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and to neighbouring amenity, all in conflict with the Development Plan.
