Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers having regard to the quality and quantity of internal and external space
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with specific regard to loss of privacy
- whether the transport related effects of the proposal are acceptable
- whether the development can be carried out without conflict with road users or harm to the amenity of the area
- whether the proposal would retain and protect trees on the site
- whether the proposal would appropriately manage flood risk
What decided it
The proposal failed on multiple material grounds including inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbours, unsafe parking and servicing arrangements, lack of tree protection assessment, and unresolved flood risk and drainage issues, which could not be remedied by conditions.
