Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether future occupiers of the proposed development would be provided with satisfactory living conditions with particular regard to the provision of amenity space
What decided it
The inadequate provision of private and communal amenity space for future occupiers, falling short of design guidance standards and lacking appropriate mechanisms to secure permanent communal provision, resulted in unsatisfactory living conditions contrary to the development plan.
