Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory parking arrangements and the effect on highway and pedestrian safety
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with particular regard to outside amenity space
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 136A and 136B, with particular regard to outlook and light
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and area

What decided it

The proposal failed to secure a planning obligation to restrict parking permits and failed to provide adequate external amenity space for two flats or mitigate harm to neighbouring light and outlook at 136B, collectively breaching multiple development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS9, Policy DM17, Policy T4, Policy T6, Policy T6.1, Policy DM02, Policy DM01, Policy D6, Policy D3, Policy CS1, Policy CS5
