Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for its future occupiers
  • the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effects of the proposed works at basement level on flooding, hydrology, hydrogeology and structural stability
  • the effects on the highway network during construction
  • whether the impacts on local infrastructure, and on important habitats, would be adequately mitigated

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, particularly due to severely limited outlook, inadequate natural light, and insufficient external amenity space, contrary to adopted development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM32, Policy D6, Policy DM7, Policy D4, Policy DM29, Policy CS2, Policy CS19, Policy CS4, Policy DM34, Policy DM13, Policy T7, Policy DM36
