Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the proposal would be permitted development under Class MA, with particular reference to whether the proposed development meets the requirements of the nationally described space standard (NDSS)
- Appeal B: the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
Appeal A failed because the plans did not demonstrate compliance with the NDSS floor-to-ceiling height requirement and flat 1 lacked the required built-in storage; Appeal B succeeded because the elevational amendments would have an acceptable effect on character and appearance.
