Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The mix of housing in the area
  • The living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to communal amenity space and outlook, safe and convenient access for servicing the building, bicycle storage and waste/recycling storage
  • Parking provision, sustainable transport and highway safety
  • Flood risk and drainage

What decided it

The combination of inadequate housing mix, unacceptable outlook for future occupiers of lower residential floors, and undemonstrated safe servicing arrangements, together with the defective unilateral undertaking on parking and sustainable transport, collectively outweighed the acceptable effects on character and appearance and flood risk.
