Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether occupiers of the proposed dwelling would have adequate private outdoor amenity space
- whether the size of the proposed dwelling would provide an adequate standard of accommodation
- whether the proposed parking arrangements for No 55 would provide safe access for its occupants
- whether safe access from the proposed dwelling in the event of flooding would be possible
What decided it
The proposal failed to comply with multiple development plan policies on amenity space, accommodation standards, parking safety, and flood risk, with no overriding considerations sufficient to outweigh these material harms.
