Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to daylight and construction disturbance
- the effect on the free-flow of traffic, with particular regard to the availability of on-street parking
- whether the proposed development provides adequate provision for cycle storage
What decided it
The absence of a signed legal agreement to secure car-free development, construction management mitigation, and the unresolved harm to daylight at the neighbouring property meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.
