Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to the provision of private outdoor amenity space
  • The effect of the proposed development on pedestrian and highway safety with regard to parking
  • Whether the proposal would create a safe environment, with particular regard to anti-social behaviour and fear of crime

What decided it

The unacceptable impact on living conditions from a significant lack of private outdoor amenity space and harm to highway safety from insufficient parking provision.
