Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of internal living space for future occupiers
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to disturbance
What decided it
The proposed development would not provide a satisfactory standard of internal living space for future occupiers, particularly in bedrooms 5 and 6, which would be cramped and oppressive, conflicting with LP policy 16 and Framework policy DP3(2).
The benefits of making more effective use of land and increasing housing occupancy were substantially outweighed by the adverse effect of failing to provide a satisfactory standard of internal living space and conflicting with Framework policy DP3(2) liveability principles.
