Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed housing mix would be appropriate, with particular regard to the need for family housing
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to the provision of private outdoor amenity space; noise and disturbance; and privacy
- whether the proposed parking provision would be appropriate based on the location of the site
What decided it
The loss of a family-sized unit without compelling evidence of compensatory benefits, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupants, particularly the lack of private outdoor space and the intrusive relationship between the ground floor bedroom and parking area, were matters of significant weight that outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
