Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the special interest of the Grade II listed building known as Ward Street Temperance Hall
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the development
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for cycle parking
- The effect of the proposal on the provision of community facilities
What decided it
The proposal would not provide acceptable living standards for future occupiers of Flats 3, 8 and 9 due to contrived layouts and restricted natural light, and the appellant failed to demonstrate adequate marketing of the building for community facility use as required by policy.
