Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether future occupiers would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions in terms of privacy, outlook and external amenity space provision
- The effect of the proposed parking arrangements on highway safety
What decided it
The proposed development's very dense arrangement with inadequate separation distances, poor living conditions for future occupiers, and unacceptable highway safety risks arising from the parking arrangements conflict with the development plan's design-led approach and cannot be outweighed by the housing benefit of four additional dwellings.
