Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of the host dwelling, with particular regard to amenity space and outlook
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether or not the proposal would give rise to highway safety issues and/or inconvenience for road users arising from any additional demand for on-street parking

What decided it

The inadequate amenity space and poor outlook (bedroom with no windows) would result in harmful living conditions for future occupiers, contrary to local plan policies requiring adequate amenity space and high-quality design.
