Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide an acceptable standard of living conditions for future occupiers, with regards to outlook, natural light and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the residential accommodation above, with regards to privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to severely limited outlook and natural light in the kitchen and living areas, and would cause significant harm to the privacy of existing HMO occupiers through the proximity of the external stairs to a bedroom window.
