Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for existing and future occupiers, with regard to private amenity space
  • whether it would make sufficient provision for cycle and car parking
  • its effect on European designated nature conservation sites

What decided it

The absence of a planning obligation to secure mitigation for European designated sites, combined with the failure to provide adequate private amenity space and a properly-sized car parking space, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and NPPF.
