Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the existing open space
- Whether the proposal provides sufficient information to enable a determination to be made in relation to the practicalities of safely developing the site, the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, the impact on the character and appearance of the area, flood risk and biodiversity
What decided it
The proposed development would result in the loss of existing open space providing valuable visual amenity and the appellant failed to demonstrate the site could be safely developed, combined with likely harm to neighbouring living conditions.
