| 1. | Flat 12A has a double bedroom, which is capable of two person occupancy, and therefore, it fails to meet the minimum gross internal floor area of 50 square metres for a one bedroom, two person, one storey dwelling, which would result in substandard residential accommodation detrimental to the amenity of the future residents contrary to the DCLG Technical Space Standard. Consequently, under the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), the prior approval of the Local Planning Authority is refused. |
| 2. | The proposed flats (Flats 6A, 6B, 12A and 12B) have an internal floor to ceiling height of 2.2m, which fails to meet the minimum floor to ceiling height of 2.3m for at least 75% of the gross internal area in line with the DCLG Technical Space Standards. Consequently, under the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), the prior approval of the Local Planning Authority is refused. |
