Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to internal living space
What decided it
The proposal would result in significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers of apartments 1, 2 and 3 due to inadequate internal space, which significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and heritage re-use.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery, efficient use of previously developed land, and heritage asset re-use were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers
