Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would provide satisfactory living standards for occupiers of the development
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living standards of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The lack of satisfactory living standards for future occupants, particularly the inadequate communal living and dining space and concerns about the top floor room's light and ventilation, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of providing housing diversity.

The benefits of housing diversity and choice were substantially and demonstrably outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the living conditions of future residents through lack of satisfactory accommodation and living environment.
