Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to a) internal space provision including whether the loft bedroom is an independent dwelling; and b) outlook
What decided it
The proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers in terms of internal space standards and outlook, with only a minor technical breach of SPD guidance that does not materially harm the quality of accommodation.
