Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants, having regard to outlook and communal outside space
- whether the proposal would provide suitable and safe parking for future occupants and the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether the proposal would be acceptable in respect of drainage, green infrastructure and on-site biodiversity having regard for development plan policies
What decided it
The Inspector found no unacceptable harm arising under any of the three main issues (living conditions, parking/highway safety, or drainage/biodiversity), and a satisfactory s.106 obligation secured the required affordable housing contribution, leading to the appeal being allowed.
no significant harm was found under any of the main issues, and with a satisfactory planning obligation securing affordable housing, the balance favoured allowing the appeal
