Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptably safe and efficient access for residents, for servicing and deliveries, and for emergency services
- Whether the development would comply with the energy sustainability requirements of the development plan
What decided it
The proposed development would not provide acceptably safe and efficient access for residents, servicing, deliveries or emergency services, and would not demonstrate compliance with energy sustainability requirements, harms which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of three additional dwellings.
The benefits of housing delivery and modest economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harms arising from unsafe and inefficient access arrangements and failure to demonstrate adequate energy sustainability measures.
