Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future and existing residents with regards to amenity space
- The living conditions of residents of Brook Vale with regards to privacy
- Whether sufficient information has been provided in respect of fire safety
- Whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal would be of an accessible and inclusive design
What decided it
The proposal would result in significant harm to the living conditions of both future residents (lack of private amenity space) and existing residents (reduction in communal amenity space and privacy loss through inadequate separation distances), which could not be outweighed by the limited housing benefits.
