Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the developments on the living conditions of occupants of 609 Newmarket Road in relation to outlook and privacy
- whether the developments would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants in relation to (a) provision of amenity space; (b) noise; and (c) waste management
- whether the developments would provide adequate cycle parking
- whether the scheme subject of Appeal B would provide adequate scope for inclusive access
What decided it
The combined adverse effects on neighbouring amenity (outlook, privacy, and overbearing) and the failure to provide adequate amenity space and cycle parking for future occupants, together with accessibility concerns in Appeal B, rendered both schemes unacceptable and in conflict with the development plan.
