Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the occupiers of the flats enjoy satisfactory living conditions, having regard to the size of bedrooms, private amenity space and privacy
- Whether space is available within the appeal site for cycle parking and waste storage facilities
- The effect of the development on fire safety
What decided it
The development fails to provide satisfactory living conditions for occupiers, particularly regarding bedroom size, private amenity space, and privacy, combined with inadequate cycle parking provision, which cannot be remedied and outweighs the limited benefit of providing additional housing.
