- Teasdale N
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether sufficient detailing has been provided to be able to assess the proposed development with particular regard to parking, communal amenity space provision and outbuilding elevations
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers having regard to internal floor area, outlook and daylight/sunlight
- The effect of the proposed development on parking
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise, disturbance and odour as well as access to the cycle storage
What decided it
The combination of insufficient detailing to assess parking and amenity space provision, substandard bedroom sizes for future occupiers, parking overspill impacts, and adverse effects on existing occupiers' amenity from relocated bin storage collectively outweighed any benefits and conflicted with the development plan.
