Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would provide future occupiers with satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to the proposed floorspace; the layout of Flat B, and the outdoor space for proposed Flat B
Whether the proposed development would make adequate arrangements for parking

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide adequate floorspace and private outdoor amenity space for future occupiers and lacks a legal agreement to secure car-free development, thereby conflicting with the development plan requirements that cannot be outweighed by the limited housing benefits.
