Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants with particular regard to outlook, size and outdoor amenity space
- The highways impacts of the construction phase of the development
- Whether satisfactory provision would be made for refuse storage and cycle parking
What decided it
The harm caused to character and appearance of the area and the failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, particularly the significant shortfall in private external amenity space and poor outlook, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing growth and sustainable location.
