Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to refuse facilities
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to parking and servicing provision
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with particular regard to the provision of private garden space and natural light, and the relationship of the proposal to existing commercial activity
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties in Warmley Close and Dunstall Lane, having particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The significant and cumulative harm to character and appearance from refuse facilities, unacceptable highway safety impacts from servicing, and poor living conditions for future occupants due to lack of garden space and inadequate natural light to bedrooms outweighed the benefits of residential delivery and employment generation.
