Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to privacy, daylight, sunlight, noise, disturbance and odour as well as bin storage
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 37 Chapel Street and Alpine Court, with particular regard to outlook privacy, daylight and sunlight
  • Whether the proposed development would encourage future occupiers to use a range of transport modes, with particular regard to the provision of cycle storage facilities
  • The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity, with particular regard to protected species and biodiversity net gain
  • The effect of the proposed development on flood risk
  • The effect of the proposed development on the operation of existing occupiers, and the operation of future ones with regard to bin storage

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers regarding privacy, daylight, sunlight and bin storage, and would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, contrary to the development plan and Framework.
