Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to the single aspect design of units, internal and private external spaces and communal amenity space
- The living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- Parking provision and accessibility
- Drainage and flood risk
- Affordable housing provision
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions of future and nearby occupiers, and the failure to secure affordable housing through a legally effective planning obligation, outweighed the acceptable effects on parking and drainage.
