Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- 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 adequate cycle parking facilities to serve future occupiers and thereby support sustainable and active travel options
- whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the development plan through harm to character and appearance, failure to meet private outdoor space standards, and inadequate cycle parking provision, and material considerations did not indicate a decision should be made other than in accordance with the development plan.
