Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers with respect to amenity space and light and outlook
- Highway safety
- The character of the area due to increased activity
- Whether or not the proposed development would be of sustainable design
What decided it
The significant conflicts with Policy SC5 regarding inadequate and poor-quality outdoor amenity space and with Policy CC2 regarding poor outlook, combined with the unsafe parking arrangement contrary to NPPF paragraph 110, outweighed the acceptable character impact.
The conflicts with the development plan regarding outdoor amenity space and outlook, and with the Framework regarding highway safety, significantly outweighed the acceptable character and appearance impact and any potential economic or social benefits.
