Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants
- whether the proposal meets the Council's requirements for affordable housing
- whether the proposal would be a sustainable form of development
What decided it
The proposal would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future residents due to poor outlook from windows facing a narrow passageway and tall office building, which would not achieve the social role of sustainable development.
