Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties with particular regard to privacy
- the effect of the proposal upon highway safety
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for the storage of cycles and household waste
What decided it
The outline nature of the application with reserved matters for appearance, access and landscaping allows for design solutions to address privacy concerns at the reserved matters stage, and the high PTAL rating and parking restrictions mean the development would effectively self-regulate as car-free, resolving highway safety concerns.
