Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would create an accessible dwelling with regard to the relevant policies of the development plan
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions for future occupiers of the flats, with particular regard to noise, overlooking, outlook, daylight, sunlight and outdoor amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on the adjacent highway with regard to parking and the use of sustainable modes of transport
What decided it
The proposal would create unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, particularly regarding noise from adjacent beer gardens, overlooking, outlook, and inadequate outdoor amenity space, combined with failure to secure car-free development through a completed planning obligation.
