- Davies G
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including trees
- the living conditions of future occupants with regard to accessibility, amenity space, waste and cycle storage, and parking
- highway safety
- fire safety
- sustainable transport
What decided it
The layout and scale of the development, particularly the full 3-storey height extending across the whole floorplate and the cramped width leaving little space for boundary planting, would cause unacceptable harm to the distinctive character and appearance of the area that outweighs the benefit of providing additional housing.
