Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to room sizes
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular reference to parking
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate adequate living conditions for future occupiers due to insufficient room sizes, would cause material harm to neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, and lacked sufficient evidence regarding parking and highway safety.
