Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would provide a suitable access for pedestrians and vehicles
  • The effect upon living conditions of surrounding and future occupiers, with particular regard to access to light and sense of enclosure
  • The impact upon protected species that may be occupying or utilising the site
  • The impact upon trees
  • The impact upon drainage of the surrounding area

What decided it

The lack of a formal agreement for access over the private parking court, combined with the substandard nature of that access and resulting highway safety concerns, was the primary factor that rendered the proposal unacceptable.
