Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for its occupiers, with particular regard to light, outlook, and privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on neighbouring residential amenity
- Whether adequate cycle and refuse storage could be provided
What decided it
The fundamental inability to provide adequate living conditions for occupiers whilst maintaining acceptable light, outlook, and privacy, combined with unacceptable harm to character and neighbouring amenity, outweighed the modest benefits of the scheme.
