Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of external space
  • whether the proposal would provide safe and suitable access for all occupiers

What decided it

The orientation and configuration of the proposed external spaces would be impractical for their intended use by future occupiers, failing to provide acceptable living conditions contrary to LP Policies DEV2 and DC6.

The benefits of housing supply, optimisation of the site, environmental and economic benefits did not indicate that the appeal should be decided other than in accordance with the development plan, which the proposal conflicts with.
