Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, having particular regard to the adequacy and functionality of the internal and external space
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the adjoining property
- Whether the development would provide appropriate facilities in relation to the management and storage of waste
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants due to inadequate internal space, poor bedroom sizes and layouts, and insufficient communal facilities, in breach of the nationally described space standards required by development plan policy.
