- Pearce S
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to outlook and the provision of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposed development on flood risk
- whether the proposed development comprises an appropriate housing mix
What decided it
The proposed development would provide unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate outlook from bedrooms served only by rooflights or no windows, and would fail to provide safe access and escape routes during flood events as the entire site lies within Flood Zone 2.
