Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the stock of family housing in the borough
- The living conditions of occupants with regard to the standard of accommodation
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupants with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The availability of on-street parking
What decided it
The substandard living conditions for occupants, particularly the inadequate kitchen, lack of communal amenity space, and undersized bedrooms that would force occupants to spend unreasonable time in bedrooms, breached the Framework's requirement for high standards of amenity.
