- English D
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in respect of the provision of private outdoor space
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in respect of the siting and design of the proposed communal play and amenity space having regard to noise and air quality
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in respect of exposure to the risk of overheating
What decided it
The failure to provide adequate private outdoor space for most dwellings and the unacceptable noise and air quality impacts on the communal outdoor space from adjacent pub beer gardens rendered the development harmful to future occupiers' living conditions in breach of development plan policies.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM02, Policy D6, Policy D14, Policy S4, Policy SI 4, Policy D3, Policy CS13, Policy DM01, Policy CS4, Policy DM04
