Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be acceptable in respect of parking provision and accessibility
  • Whether the proposal would be acceptable in respect of site layout, design and natural surveillance
  • Whether the proposal would be acceptable in respect of internal space provision for future occupants of the proposed dwellings

What decided it

The Inspector concluded that none of the three main issues (parking, design/natural surveillance, internal space) gave rise to unacceptable harm once appropriate conditions and revised plans were secured, so the proposal complied with the development plan taken as a whole.
