Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the availability of family sized dwellings in the area
- whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of cycle parking
What decided it
The proposal would not provide satisfactory access to cycling as a sustainable mode of transport due to inadequate space in the front garden to accommodate both refuse storage and cycle parking, failing to meet the high quality accommodation standards required by Policy DM17 and Policy D6.
the identified harm to the loss of family-sized dwellings and poor design provision for future occupiers' needs significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing provision and economic activity
