Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to internal storage, internal arrangement of flat 2, outlook and privacy
- The effect of the proposed refuse and cycle stores on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The poor internal arrangement of flat 2 with main living spaces located within the roof loft, combined with privacy concerns from the narrow shared access passage, created unacceptable living conditions that conflicted with development plan policies and could not be outweighed by material considerations.
