Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for the delivery of family sized units
- Whether the proposal would have an unacceptable impact upon highway safety, in particular with regards to parking provision
- The effect of the proposal upon protected trees
- The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of future residents, in particular with regards to the provision of accessible children's play space and accessible communal amenity space
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision in relation to fire safety
- Whether the proposed development accords with development plan policies for the provision of affordable housing
What decided it
The significant adverse effects on protected trees and failure to provide a policy-compliant mix of family-sized units, which together outweighed any benefits of the proposal.
