Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the living conditions of future occupiers, having particular regard to internal floor space and amenity space
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings
- the effect of the parking and access arrangement on highway safety
- the effect of the development on the stock of housing in the borough and whether there is a need for the Class E floor space at ground floor
What decided it
The development conflicts with the development plan on three main issues—inadequate amenity space for future occupiers, harmful effects on character and appearance, and detrimental effects on highway safety—and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
