Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the layout and arrangement of the bin storage area would be acceptable with particular reference to the living conditions of the existing occupier of bedroom 1
  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable arrangements for the storage and collection of waste and recycling
  • Whether the proposal would provide adequate and effective car parking arrangements
  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable cycle parking facilities

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide acceptable arrangements for waste and recycling storage and collection, fail to provide adequate car parking arrangements secured by a planning obligation, and would harm the living conditions of the existing bedroom 1 occupier through increased noise and disturbance.
