Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on pedestrian and highway safety having regard to cycle storage facilities, car parking provision and refuse arrangements
- Whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupiers with regard to privacy, internal floor area and accessibility/adaptability
- The effect of the proposal on the residential character of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at 1 – 6 Kimberley Terrace and 10 Madeira Avenue
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts of providing an unsatisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupiers and harm to pedestrian and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweigh the scheme's benefits when assessed against the Framework, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The significant adverse impacts of unsatisfactory accommodation standards and harm to pedestrian and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of 6 additional homes and efficient use of land, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
