Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers of the development with particular regard to communal amenity space and play space
  • whether the proposal would provide suitable facilities for cycle, refuse and recycling storage

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide the communal outdoor amenity space and play space required by Policy DM10 for all flatted developments, significantly compromising living conditions for occupiers of the first-floor flats.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM10, Policy DM13, Policy D3, Policy D4, Policy D6, Policy T4, Policy T5
