Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal scheme on highway safety
- Whether the appeal scheme would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The inadequate internal space of proposed units 3 and 4, falling significantly below the national technical housing standard of 37m², resulting in inadequate living conditions for future occupiers contrary to Policy DM40.
The significant weight afforded to the lack of five-year housing land supply (1.96 years) was outweighed by the inadequate living conditions that would result from the substandard unit sizes.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM33, Policy DM40
