Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed flats would provide future residents with acceptable living conditions with particular reference to internal space; outlook; light; external amenity space, smell & noise
What decided it
The proximity of the proposed residential units to unneighbourly commercial uses whose normal operation would make living conditions unacceptable despite mitigation measures, combined with other disadvantages including small flat sizes and lack of external amenity space, meant that future residents would not have acceptable living conditions in breach of development plan policies CS9 and CS20.

- Policy TC7 of the Stratford-upon-Avon Neighbourhood Development PlanPolicy CS9 of the Stratford-on-Avon District Core StrategyPolicy CS20 of the Stratford-on-Avon District Core Strategy
