Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to the provision of storage space, accessibility, daylight, outlook and access to outdoor space
- the effect of the proposed development upon highway safety
- whether the proposed development would achieve a suitable standard of fire safety
- whether adequate and suitable bin storage facilities would be provided
What decided it
The proposed development would conflict with development plan policies requiring high architectural quality and suitable living conditions, and would fail to achieve adequate fire safety standards, with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh these conflicts.
