- highway safety with particular regard to the adequacy of parking provision
- the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to noise
- protected species
- the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to internal living space
What decided it
The proposal conflicted with the development plan on multiple grounds including harm to neighbouring living conditions, inadequate parking provision, adverse character and appearance impacts, insufficient noise assessment, incomplete protected species survey, and failure to meet space standards for residential units.
