Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide an adequate standard of accommodation for its future occupiers, with particular regard to the size and quality of the communal facilities
What decided it
The proposed development would not provide an adequate standard of accommodation for future occupiers due to the inadequate size and quality of communal facilities, particularly the reduction in kitchen/communal space and absence of a dedicated communal room for 8 occupants.
