Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with particular regard to internal and external living space

What decided it

The absence of internal communal living spaces and meaningful external amenity areas, combined with the only outdoor space serving as a smoking area and sole access route, would result in unsuitable communal facilities and unacceptable living conditions for future occupants, constituting overdevelopment.
