Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the future occupiers of the proposed development would have acceptable living conditions
- Whether or not the proposal would have adequate provision for cycle and refuse and recycling storage
- Whether a necessary obligation for car-free development has been secured by legal agreement
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to limited outlook, insufficient daylight, and lack of private amenity space, combined with inadequate provision for cycle and refuse storage and the absence of a signed legal agreement to secure car-free development obligations.
