Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed use
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable private amenity space, cycle parking, bin storage and arrangements for the collection of waste
- the effect of the proposal upon the character of the area, and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to levels of noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposed parking arrangements upon highway safety
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate acceptable cycle parking, bin storage and arrangements for the collection of waste, conflicting with Saved Policy H16, the Interim Planning Policy, Policy CS25 and the Framework's objectives on sustainable transport and accessibility for people with disabilities.
