Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety and parking provision
- whether the proposed development can provide sufficient refuse provision
What decided it
The proposed refuse storage facility is insufficient to accommodate the required waste and recycling bins for two units, and enlarging it to meet requirements would be visually intrusive and harmful to the street scene.
