Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Bradmore Green Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers regarding internal space
- Whether the proposed development would affect highway safety with specific regard to the vehicle access
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate disabled parking provision
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate refuse storage facilities
- Whether the proposed development would affect protected species and habitats
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Bradmore Green Conservation Area, combined with inadequate internal space standards for five dwellings and unresolved highway safety concerns regarding vehicle access and manoeuvring, could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
