Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers in respect of external amenity space, including private space
- whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers in respect of internal space
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision through planning obligations in respect of: (i) car parking arrangements, (ii) sustainable transport including walking and cycling, (iii) mitigation of development effects on European Sites, and (iv) appropriate pre-commencement surveys and post-completion repair of the highway
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on highways safety in respect of construction logistics
What decided it
The failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers in respect of both external amenity space (including private outdoor space) and internal space standards, combined with the absence of a planning obligation to control parking permits, rendered the proposal unacceptable despite its contribution to housing supply.
