Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties in terms of daylight and sunlight
- whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for refuse storage and cycle parking
- whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for affordable housing and off-site amenity space
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, daylight and sunlight impacts, refuse storage provision, and affordable housing and amenity space requirements—with no material considerations to justify approval.
