Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether future occupiers of the studio flat on the loft floor and part of the first floor would experience acceptable living conditions in terms of internal living space and ceiling height
- Whether future occupiers would experience acceptable living conditions in terms of external amenity space
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The amended plans demonstrating that the loft floor would be lowered to achieve the required minimum ceiling height of 2.5m for at least 75% of the gross internal floor area, combined with the provision of adequate gross internal floor area and suitable external amenity space, resolved the Council's concerns about living conditions for future occupiers.
