Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers
What decided it
The rooflights would provide future occupiers with adequate natural light and good outlook, and the rear alleyway access arrangement, while not ideal, would not cause significant harm to living conditions.
The benefits of bringing vacant floor space back into beneficial use and providing four residential units in a sustainable location outweighed the alleged concerns about access and daylight arrangements
