Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling would be provided, with particular regard to the amount of internal space and the amount and quality of external amenity space
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the neighbouring building at 121-123 Nayland Road, identified by the Council as a non-designated heritage asset
- Whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for (i) electric vehicle charging, (ii) cycle parking, and (iii) refuse storage
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would provide inadequate internal floor space and external amenity space that would result in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, contrary to Policies DM12, DM13 and DM19 of the Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM12, Policy DM13, Policy DM19, Policy SP7, Policy ENV1, Policy DM15, Policy DM21, Policy DM22
