Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the adequacy of the proposal in terms of cycle, refuse and recycling storage facilities that can be accommodated at the site in a manner which is appropriate and usable by occupiers of the property
What decided it
The housing land supply deficit and the sustainable location of the appeal site, combined with the ability to secure adequate cycle and waste storage by condition, outweighed the council's concerns about the adequacy of storage facilities.
The benefits of housing delivery and the sustainable location of the site, weighed against the concerns about cycle and waste storage provision, tipped in favour of allowing the appeal with conditions to secure appropriate storage.
