Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The car parking layout and cycle parking provision
  • Refuse provision
  • The living conditions for existing occupiers, with particular reference to retained garden space

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to character and appearance from subdivision of open space and refuse storage, combined with inadequate car and cycle parking provision and non-compliant refuse provision, collectively outweighed the modest benefits of the development.
