Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants, having particular regard to the adequacy and functionality of the shared kitchen facilities and the floor area to head height ratio of bedroom 5
What decided it
The modest increase in occupancy from six to seven people would not result in significant noise and disturbance given the site's location near a well-trafficked road and commercial uses, and the shared kitchen facilities and bedroom sizes would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants.
