Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to access, privacy and security
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to privacy, noise and waste storage
What decided it
The external staircase as the sole access to the residential unit would provide inadequate protection from the elements and create safety concerns for future occupiers, combined with the staircase's harmful visual impact on the character and appearance of the area.
