Core Refusal Reason
The development results in substandard private open space provision, negatively impacting the residential amenity of the apartment occupants.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The 15.1sqm utility room leaves only approximately 18sqm of usable rear garden space, which is insufficient in terms of both quality and quantity.
- The reduction in private open space results in a substandard level of residential amenity for the occupants of the apartments within the dwelling.
- Granting retention would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments and is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
