Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupants, with specific regard to the provision of outdoor amenity space, and whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal would secure the provision of an off-site open space improvements contribution
  • highway safety, with regard to parking provision and access for deliveries and refuse collection

What decided it

The failure to provide adequate outdoor amenity space for future occupants and the absence of a signed Section 106 legal agreement to secure off-site open space improvements contributions.

Framework references: 130, 111
