Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would result in an over-intensive use of the premises having regard to the future occupants living conditions
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbours
  • Whether the development adequately caters for vehicle parking, cycle parking and refuse storage
  • Whether there is a necessity for the proposed development

What decided it

The proposal would result in substandard living conditions for future occupants due to over-intensive use of the building, combined with inadequate vehicle parking provision and loss of dwelling accommodation.
