Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the flats provide satisfactory living accommodation for current and future occupants, having regard to internal floor space, external amenity space and outlook
  • The effect of the appeal schemes on highway safety, having particular regard to parking provision
  • The effect of the appeal schemes on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, having particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The flats fail to provide satisfactory living accommodation in terms of internal floor space and external amenity space, contrary to Policies H6 and H9 of the Core Strategy, and the inadequate parking provision creates highway safety concerns.
