Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide an acceptable standard of living for its occupants, with particular regard to its internal layout
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, and the fear of crime
- Whether the development would achieve sustainable mixed communities, with particular regard to housing mix
What decided it
The proposal would provide inadequate living conditions for occupants and would adversely affect neighbouring amenity through increased noise, disturbance, and realistic fear of crime in a high-crime area, contrary to development plan policies and the NPPF.
