Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties with particular regard to privacy, light and outlook
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to standard of accommodation, outdoor amenity space and privacy
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to both neighbouring occupiers' living conditions through overlooking and loss of light, and would fail to provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate space standards, privacy issues, and poorly designed communal amenity space.

- Policy LP17
