Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on access to the site for different users, with particular reference to the safety of future occupiers of the residential units
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for future occupiers of the residential units, with particular regard to communal and private amenity space
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate and accessible waste management facilities
What decided it
The cumulative harm arising from unsafe access, inadequate private and communal amenity space, and insufficient waste management facilities outweighed the benefits of the proposed development.
The social, environmental and economic benefits of the scheme were outweighed by the harms relating to access safety, amenity space provision and waste management, leading the Inspector to conclude the adverse impacts outweighed the benefits.
