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.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: DMP Policy DMHB 16DMP Policy DMHB 18DMP Policy DMH 4DMP Policy DMT 2DMP Policy DMT 6LP Policy D6
