Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of private amenity space
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory access and parking arrangements as well as cycle and refuse storage facilities
- the effect of the proposal on the ecology of the site, including protected species and natural habitats
What decided it
The proposal's overdevelopment of the plot with excessive massing and narrow margins would cause very harmful effects to the character and appearance of the local area, and the inadequate functional private amenity space would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future residents.
