Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to communal amenity space, cycle and refuse storage
- the effect of the proposal upon character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal upon highway and public safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to living conditions of future occupiers resulting from the location of car parking spaces within the communal amenity area, combined with the undemonstrated ability of fire appliances to safely manoeuvre in the reduced space available, outweighed the acceptable effects on character and appearance.
