Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for occupants, with particular regard to noise, internal floor layout and higher accessibility standards, as well as external amenity space

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers due to inadequate noise protection between the ground floor bedroom and neighbouring property, cramped and convoluted internal layout of the first-floor flat, and poor access to external amenity space, conflicting with Policies LP8 and LP17 of the development plan.
