Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the appeal property with particular regard to overcrowding and communal space
  • Whether the development provides sufficient car parking and bicycle storage

What decided it

The development fails to provide adequate communal living space and car parking provision, conflicting with the development plan, and no material considerations justify approval.
