Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for its future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of dual aspect accommodation and private outside space
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook
- Whether the development would provide adequate refuse and recycling storage facilities
- Whether the development would provide an acceptable level of cycle parking
- The effect of the development on car parking provision
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers and the lack of adequate refuse and recycling storage facilities significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The modest benefits of housing delivery and reuse of previously developed land were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial cumulative harm to living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers and inadequate waste storage provision.
