Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants of the flats, with particular regard to internal layout and private external amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, particularly the absence of private external amenity space for the upper floor flat and inadequate noise separation between the two dwellings, outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
