Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living and working conditions of future occupiers of the unimplemented development of the Drill Hall with regards to an overbearing form of development; and residents of 217-221 Old Christchurch Road with regard to overlooking
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to outdoor amenity space, outlook and light
- whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for cycle parking
What decided it
