Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether future occupiers would have satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to outlook, private amenity space provision, layout, and sunlight
What decided it
The harmful effects on future occupiers' living conditions from poor outlook in basement flats and complete absence of private amenity space for ground floor flats, which conflict with development plan policies requiring high quality amenity provision, outweigh the benefits of housing supply and site improvement.
