Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide an adequate financial contribution towards affordable housing
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable living environment for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to privacy
- whether the proposal would provide adequate facilities for cycle storage
- whether the proposal would provide adequate facilities for waste and recycling storage
What decided it
The proposal failed to provide an adequate affordable housing contribution, suitable living environment for future occupiers, and adequate cycle and waste storage facilities, conflicting with the development plan as a whole.
