Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for existing occupants of the flats at first and second floor level, with particular regard to outlook and pedestrian access
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to outlook, outdoor amenity space and pedestrian access
  • Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate refuse and cycle storage facilities
  • The effect of the proposed development on parking in the area, having particular regard to highway safety and development plan policies, which seek to reduce car usage

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of both existing and future occupants through poor outlook, loss of amenity space, inadequate storage facilities, and poor accessibility, contrary to multiple development plan policies.
