Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space
- the effect of the proposal on the existing housing stock, with particular regard to whether the proposal would be acceptable with regards the loss of a family dwelling
What decided it
The proposed dwellings would fall significantly short of the minimum gross internal floor area required by the nationally described space standard and Policy DM10, resulting in unacceptably cramped internal layouts that would not meet the needs of future occupiers.
