- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the internal and external living conditions of the future occupiers
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that Flat 7B would meet the Nationally Described Space Standard headroom requirement, combined with the harm to character and appearance, substantially outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
the benefits of granting planning permission, being limited weight for one additional residential unit and efficient land use, were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects of harm to character and appearance and failure to meet living condition standards
