Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development proposed would provide an appropriate mix and balance of housing
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposal would provide for a satisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space, external amenity space and privacy
What decided it
The proposal would not provide an appropriate mix and balance of housing that responds to the Borough's housing needs, with an excessive proportion of one-bedroom studios and insufficient larger units.
