- Effect of the proposal on living conditions for potential occupiers
- Effect on the supply of family housing
- Parking provision
- Character and appearance of the area and the host property
- Living conditions for existing nearby residents

What decided it
The proposal fails to meet minimum space standards for future occupiers, results in unacceptable loss of family housing without re-provision, and lacks adequate mechanisms to secure car-free and cycle parking compliance.
