Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide an appropriate mix of dwelling sizes, having regard to relevant development plan policies
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal living space and outdoor amenity space
  • the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, light and privacy
  • whether the scheme would comply with policies to promote sustainable transport
  • whether or not the arrangements for refuse storage would be satisfactory

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple material grounds including housing mix, living conditions for future and neighbouring occupiers, sustainable transport, and refuse storage, with no other considerations sufficient to outweigh these failings.
