Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to its use of existing extensions to the appeal building and the concentration of flatted development in the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to outdoor amenity space, including the use of a non-original extension and the provision of public open space
  • Whether the proposal makes suitable provision for off-street parking
  • The effect of the proposal on existing trees
  • Whether the development secures an appropriate contribution towards the provision of new trees

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with the development plan on multiple grounds—particularly the concentration of flatted development in an already over-provided area and the failure to secure adequate outdoor amenity space and tree planting contributions—with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these conflicts.
