Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether suitable living conditions are provided for existing and future occupiers of the dwelling, having regard to internal floor area, outlook, the provision made for private outdoor amenity space and privacy
- The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to noise and disturbance and privacy
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect on highway safety, having regard to vehicle parking associated with the dwelling
What decided it
The dwelling fails to provide suitable living conditions for its occupiers and causes unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity, character and appearance, and highway safety, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made other than in accordance with the Development Plan.
