Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to internal space and private amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with particular reference to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed parking arrangements are suitable in respect of pedestrian safety, accessibility and parking pressure
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for future occupants resulting from inadequate internal space, combined with significant harm to neighbouring amenity through noise and disturbance, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the minor benefits of emergency accommodation provision when assessed against the Framework.
The significant harms to living conditions for future occupants and neighbouring residents outweighed the minor benefits of emergency accommodation provision; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
