Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the dwelling
- whether the proposed development would provide appropriate cycle and refuse storage facilities
- whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for off-street parking, and the effect of any lack of provision on the amenity of the area and highway safety
What decided it
The proposed development reconfigures existing residential accommodation without creating additional units, therefore generating no additional parking pressure that would justify a Section 106 agreement or conflict with parking policies.
