Why it was refused

  1. The proposals result in an inadequate quality of internal space, insufficient privacy for occupiers, and disturbance from communal areas and facilities affecting private bedrooms. This unsatisfactory arrangement results in a poor quality of accommodation for future occupiers, harmful to their amenity. Contrary to Policies H8 and CC8 of the Reading Borough Local Plan 2019 and paragraphs135 and 198 of the NPPF 2024.
  2. The submitted drawings are inaccurate due to discrepancies between ‘Block and Location Plans 1397 3 d’ and ‘Plans and Elevations as Proposed 1397 2 x’ in that the drawings do not reflect each other and not reflect what is proposed.

From the council's decision notice.
