Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposal would be acceptable in respect of internal space
whether the proposal would provide sufficient refuse and recycling storage
whether car-free development would be secured, having regard to the proposal's effect on the highway and to sustainable travel

What decided it

The proposal complies with all three main issues: internal space standards are met, refuse storage is adequate given site constraints and collection frequency, and car-free development is secured through a condition restricting parking permits for one flat while maintaining excellent public transport accessibility.
