Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions of future occupiers of the property, with particular regard to internal space
What decided it
The undersized kitchen and overall floor area would result in inadequate living conditions for future occupants that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply under the tilted balance.
The benefits of housing delivery in an accessible location were given significant weight, but the adverse impacts on living conditions and amenity standards significantly and demonstrably outweighed these benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
Framework references: 11, 135
