Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the future occupants with particular reference to floorspace
- The effect of the proposed development on the supply of family sized housing
- The effect of the proposed development on car parking provision
- The effect of the proposed development on cycle parking provision
- The effect of the proposed development on waste management
- The effect of the proposed development on fire safety
What decided it
The proposed Flat 2 would fail to meet minimum space standards for floorspace and bedroom dimensions, creating unacceptable living conditions for future occupants, which constitutes significant harm that outweighs the moderate benefit of housing delivery.
