Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon highway safety
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of facilities for refuse and cycle storage

What decided it

The unacceptable impact upon highway safety arising from parking stress and unsafe vehicle manoeuvres in a narrow cul-de-sac, combined with inadequate refuse and cycle storage facilities that would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
