Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal living space
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for the storage of refuse and cycles for occupants of Stanmore House
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers and the location of the refuse and cycle store would compromise pedestrian safety and likely result in refuse overspill, with these harms not outweighed by the limited benefit of one new dwelling.
