Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to internal space, bin storage, and car and cycle parking
What decided it
The failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, particularly the inadequate internal space of the first floor flat and the impractical arrangement of parking, cycle storage and bin storage facilities, which would conflict with the development plan and the Framework's amenity objectives.
The modest housing benefit and local economic contribution were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the considerable harm to living conditions for future occupiers, such that the Framework did not indicate a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.
