Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to the quality of the internal space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
What decided it
The proposal would fail to meet mandatory space standards for the second floor flat and would cause unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers through overlooking from first floor side windows.
