Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character of the area, in particular the mix, balance and cohesion of the community
- whether adequate living conditions for occupiers of the proposal would be provided, in respect of outdoor space and escape in the event of a fire
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the Development Plan as a whole by undermining the Council's strategy to protect family housing and increase its supply, while also failing to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers and causing harm to neighbouring residents.
