Postcode: IP3 0BF

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether, in terms of land use, the proposed development would accord with the relevant site-specific development plan policy for the site
the development's effects on the character and appearance of the area
the effects on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and overbearing
whether the scheme would provide adequate living conditions for its own future occupiers, in terms of on-site amenity space
whether permission should be granted in the absence of a Section 106 agreement or undertaking

What decided it

The proposed development's failure to provide any on-site outdoor amenity space, contrary to Policy DM7 and SAP site IP142 requirements, combined with the absence of an executed Section 106 agreement to secure necessary mitigation contributions, means the scheme conflicts with the development plan's most relevant policies.
