Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the future residents of the flats, having regard to internal space provision, private outdoor space and defensible space
- the character and appearance of the area, having regard to frontage waste/recycling and bike storage provision
What decided it
The proposal would cause permanent and significant harm to the living conditions of future residents through inadequate internal space and absence of private outdoor space for the family-sized unit, and would harm the character and appearance of the area through cluttered frontage storage provision, which outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
