Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupants with particular reference to privacy
- Whether or not the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for existing and future occupants with regard to waste management and communal amenity space
- Whether or not the proposal would make acceptable provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The proposal would have a significantly harmful effect on the living conditions of existing occupants due to loss of privacy from the cycle store location and inadequate waste storage for both existing and future occupants, which cumulatively outweighed the modest benefits of additional housing supply.
