Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposal would be acceptable with specific regard to public transport

- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with specific regard to disturbance
- the effect of the proposed development on the safe use of the highway with specific regard to parking
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to the amount of outdoor space
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate waste and recycling facilities
What decided it
The cumulative weight of substantial development plan conflicts, particularly the unsustainable location with inadequate public transport accessibility and the undersized original building floor area, outweighed the moderate benefits of providing additional housing stock.
