Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposal, and maintained for neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to the amount of floorspace proposed, light, outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposal constitutes sustainable development, in respect of minimising energy use and carbon emissions
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide adequate living conditions due to substandard floorspace and poor light and outlook in the bedroom, combined with unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and failure to demonstrate sustainable design compliance.
