Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the outlook and light for the kitchen/dining room and the ground floor bedroom, and refuse storage provision
  • Whether there is satisfactory information provided in respect of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve water from the proposed development
  • Fire safety

What decided it

The poor outlook and restricted light for ground floor rooms, combined with inadequate internal bin storage arrangements, would create harmful living conditions for future occupiers in conflict with development plan policies requiring high-quality design and appropriate amenity standards.

Framework references: 135, 11

Plan policies cited: Policy D6, Policy D12, Policy SI 1, Policy SI 2, Policy DP11, Policy DP26, Policy DP30, Policy SP14
