Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for its future occupiers with regard to its internal layout
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties and the broader community by way of crime, fear of crime and anti-social behaviour
What decided it
The site's location in a row of commercial properties rather than in a residential area, combined with the high quality of the proposed internal layout and the occupancy limit of 8 persons, meant the proposal would not have unacceptable effects on neighbouring living conditions or community cohesion.
