- The suitability of the internal layout of the flat (Appeal A only)

What decided it
The service yard access route was unsafe and unsuitable for residential use due to commercial waste, poor lighting, and shared use with delivery vehicles, and this fundamental defect could not be remedied by condition or design modification.
