Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of 633 Commercial Road (no.633), with particular regard to access to outside space
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for intended occupiers, with particular regard to access to daylight and sunlight and the adequacy of internal ceiling height
What decided it
The proposal would fail to provide adequate living conditions for intended occupiers due to insufficient ceiling height and daylight/sunlight, and would unacceptably harm neighbouring occupiers' access to outside space.
