Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers including whether the proposal would contribute towards a vibrant, sustainable community within the City
- Whether the proposal would provide suitable access, refuse and cycle storage
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts on living conditions of future occupiers, particularly poor outlook and inadequate natural light in multiple rooms, combined with deficient cycle storage provision, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply and economic contribution.
The adverse impacts regarding living conditions and cycle storage deficiencies, afforded significant weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic contribution, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
