Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed houses by way of amenity space
- The living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 9 – 12 Kendal Court by way of outlook
What decided it
The proposal's excessive density, massing and scale would be unsympathetic to the character and appearance of the canalside environment and surrounding area, would fail to provide adequate amenity space for future occupiers, and would cause harm to neighbouring residential amenities.
