- residential · Change of use
- Inspector
- Cryan M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of external amenity space and, in Appeal A only, the provision (including the form and arrangement) of internal communal space, and private bedrooms
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for the storage of bins and refuse (Appeal A only)
What decided it
The proposed developments would provide zero outdoor amenity space against the 2023 SPD standard of 80m², and no evidence demonstrated exceptional circumstances or that all opportunities to maximise external space had been taken, resulting in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
