- Bradley F
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to privacy, outlook, daylight and sunlight
- whether the proposed development would provide step-free access, with particular regard to the provision for cycle storage
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area, including the Barnsbury Conservation Area (BCA)
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would fail to provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers due to severely restricted outlook, unacceptable sunlight exposure of zero hours, and inadequate privacy, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high quality design and good amenity standards.
