Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of future residents, with particular reference to the size of bedrooms, overlooking, and private amenity space
- whether space is available within the appeal site for cycle parking and waste storage facilities
- the effect of the development on fire safety
What decided it
The detrimental effect on living conditions of future residents, particularly regarding inadequate and impractical private amenity space, overlooking of bedrooms, and undersized bedrooms with restricted headroom, combined with insufficient evidence that cycle parking and waste storage could be accommodated on site, outweighed the acceptable fire safety position.
