Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable mix of dwellings having regard to the need for family accommodation in the borough
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- Whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for matters relating to fire safety
What decided it
The proposed development's failure to provide family-sized accommodation in conflict with the strategic housing mix policy, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts from increased parking demand in an area of existing parking stress, outweighed the acceptable fire safety provision.
