Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of intensification on the character and appearance of the area and on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties
- Whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers
- Whether adequate provision would be made for refuse storage
What decided it
The proposals would not provide high quality design and comfortable living conditions for future occupiers as required by development plan policies, and this adverse impact significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery.
