Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable access for vehicles and cycles
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for any necessary sustainable transport initiatives
What decided it
The proposal would not provide acceptable access for cycles in accordance with the London Cycling Design Standards and development plan policies, as the 1.0m wide side path to cycle parking was inadequately narrow and would create barriers to cycling.
