Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the living conditions of the future occupants of the proposed development would be acceptable, with regard to outdoor space and waste facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The lack of private outdoor space for two of the three proposed flats and inadequate waste storage provision would be substantially detrimental to the living conditions of future occupants, outweighing the modest benefits of the development.
the modest benefits from housing provision and environmental measures did not outweigh the substantial harm to the living conditions of future occupants from lack of private outdoor space and inadequate waste facilities
