Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed flats would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to noise disturbance and outlook
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to on-street parking
- Whether or not the development would offer adequate standards of security and safety
- Whether or not the proposed use of the site for residential purposes could be integrated effectively with the existing surrounding business and community uses
What decided it
The proposed development would provide unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to poor outlook and noise disturbance, combined with highway safety concerns and inadequate security standards, which together conflict with the development plan.
