Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers
  • whether the proposal would promote sustainable means of transport with particular regard to on-site cycle parking storage
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to on-street parking
  • the effect of the proposal on the on-street bagged refuse collection service

What decided it

The proposal fails to meet minimum space standards and outdoor amenity requirements for future occupiers, cannot provide adequate cycle parking to promote sustainable transport, and would compromise highway safety through increased on-street parking pressures, with these harms outweighing the benefits of new residential supply.
