Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to external amenity space provision
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate and oppressive external amenity space, contrary to Policy DM15 and paragraph 135 of the Framework.

the substantial harm from inadequate external amenity space and poor living conditions outweighed the minor benefits of housing delivery and economic activity

Framework references: 135
