Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of residents with regards to living space, refuse storage, outlook, light, ventilation, access and outdoor space
- The development of regeneration sites
- The character and appearance of the area
- Cycle parking
What decided it
The shortfall in internal space standards, harm from refuse storage arrangements, and potential material harm to the development capacity of the adjacent regeneration site S10 collectively rendered the proposal unacceptable.
The benefits of providing additional housing were outweighed by significant harm to the living conditions of future residents and potentially significant harm to regeneration sites.
