Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupants with specific regard to internal space
  • whether the proposal would provide sufficient car parking in the interests of the proper function of the proposal

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide appropriate living conditions for future occupants due to insufficient internal space and single-aspect design, and fails to provide sufficient car parking, both contrary to the development plan.

the limited benefits of housing provision and windfall contribution to 5-year supply were outweighed by the adverse impacts on living conditions of future occupants and failure to provide sufficient parking
