Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, having particular regard to daylight and outlook

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate daylight and severely restricted outlook, which would create an unduly oppressive and confined living environment that cannot be justified even for short-term occupancy.
