Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outdoor private amenity space
  • The effect of parking associated with the proposal on local parking stress and the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, with particular reference to disturbance

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to the complete absence of private outdoor amenity space and would cause unacceptable disturbance to neighbouring residents through unmanaged parking-related vehicle movements.
