Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether suitable living conditions are provided for existing and future occupiers of the additional self-contained residential unit, having regard to internal floorspace and private outdoor amenity space
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect on highway safety, having regard to the provision made for off-street vehicle parking
What decided it
The additional unit does not provide suitable living conditions for existing and future occupiers due to restrictive internal living space falling well short of Development Plan standards and the complete absence of private outdoor amenity space, which carries significant weight and outweighs the modest benefits of increased housing supply.
