Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would create acceptable living conditions for occupants
  • Whether the proposal encourages sustainable methods of transportation when particular regard is paid to cycle storage facilities
  • Whether acceptable provision is made when regard is paid to refuse storage

What decided it

The deficiencies relating to the rear basement room, which creates unacceptable living conditions for occupants due to limited light, lack of outlook, and small size, resulting in conflict with the development plan.
