Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the occupiers of the existing flats enjoy satisfactory living conditions, having regard to the layout, floor space and the provision of amenity space
- Whether the development is acceptable, having regard to car parking
- The effects of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 16 Canons Gate and future occupiers of the ground floor flat at 15 Canons Gate with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The alternative scheme with revised internal layouts meeting space standards and parking requirements, combined with omission of external alterations causing privacy harm, rendered the development acceptable subject to condition.
