Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effects of the proposal on living conditions for future residents with regard to privacy, noise, anti-social behaviour; and provision of waste, recycling and cycle facilities
- Character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in respect of privacy, noise, and waste/recycling/cycle storage provision, conflicting with development plan policies DM2 and DM46 and the Framework.
The modest social and economic benefits of delivering three new units and promoting efficient use of underutilised land (moderate weight) were outweighed by the unacceptable living conditions for future residents regarding privacy, noise, and waste facilities.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DM2DM46DM22
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 191Paragraph 193Paragraph 135
