Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development provides adequate living conditions for the occupants of Flat 1A with regard to layout, light and outlook
  • whether the development provides adequate living conditions for the occupants of Bedsits 38A and 58A with regard to the size of the internal living space

What decided it

The development's classification as specialist housing for older people within an existing sheltered housing complex meant that minimum space standards for dwellings did not apply, and the imposition of a condition restricting Bedsits 38A and 58A to guest accommodation only ensured adequate living conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy 4, Policy 37, Policy D6, Policy SI1
