Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the property and the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the development with regard to privacy and private external amenity space
- The effect of the bin store enclosure with regard to highway safety
- The effect of the construction of the building on highway safety
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for car free housing and would affect highway safety
What decided it
The failure to provide a signed planning obligation securing car-free housing, highway mitigation measures, and Strategic Access Management Measures contributions, combined with inadequate external amenity space and unresolved material details affecting character and appearance, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and material considerations did not outweigh this conflict.
