Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living standards for the future occupiers of flat E

What decided it

The impractical and inconvenient access to cycle parking and refuse storage via the narrow winding basement staircase would not provide satisfactory living standards for the future occupiers of flat E, conflicting with relevant development plan policies.

The conflict with relevant development plan policies and the adverse impact of inadequate living standards for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the identified benefits of delivering an additional flat in an accessible location where there is an unchallenged shortfall in housing land supply
