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 means of access and the standard of accommodation with specific regard to internal space
- Whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for the storage of refuse
- The effect of the proposed development upon flood risk
What decided it
The proposal failed on multiple grounds including harm to character and appearance, unsuitable access and living conditions, inadequate refuse storage provision, and absence of a required flood risk assessment, with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts with the development plan.
