Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to indoor and outdoor space, outlook and privacy
- whether the proposal would support inclusive living, with particular regard to wheelchair user accommodation
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions of the self-contained studio flat due to its inadequate size, single-aspect orientation with outlook to a car park, and absence of private amenity space, combined with the failure to provide any wheelchair-accessible bedrooms within the HMO.
