Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for future occupants, with particular regard to amenity space, accessibility and internal storage
- whether the proposal would make appropriate provision for sustainable drainage features and would be acceptable in terms of flood risk
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The failure to provide suitable accommodation standards (particularly private amenity space and accessible design) combined with the absence of a flood risk assessment and drainage strategy demonstrating compliance with development plan policies.
