Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide an adequate level of private amenity space for its occupants
- the effect of the development on surface water management and flood risk
What decided it
The inadequate provision of private amenity space that would function more as pedestrian access than useable garden space, combined with insufficient evidence of appropriate surface water management, meant the development conflicted with the development plan and could not be justified.
