Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers having regard to the quantum of internal floor space and private amenity space provision
  • The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide acceptable living conditions due to insufficient internal floor space and absence of private amenity space, and would exacerbate highway safety issues through increased on-street parking demand in an already congested location.
