Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to external circulation space, upstairs head height and daylight to and outlook from the smaller bedroom on the northern side of the building
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the building would be capable of residential conversion without the need for significant rebuilding
What decided it
The restricted outlook from the smaller northern bedroom, limited to sky only due to the rooflight position, would result in a significant adverse impact on living conditions of future occupiers in conflict with development plan policies requiring adequate amenity standards.
Plan policies cited: COM 01, COM 03, GEN 02, HOU 12
