Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular reference to amenity space and internal space standards
- highway and pedestrian safety, with particular reference to the proposed parking arrangements
- the living conditions of existing occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed development would introduce a discordant built form harmful to character and appearance, fail to provide acceptable internal living standards for future occupiers, and result in unacceptable parking pressures detrimental to highway safety.
The proposal conflicted with the development plan and there were no other considerations, including the Framework, that outweighed this conflict.
