Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to outlook, privacy and outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of 39 Ranelagh Road and 25 Station Road with regard to outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety with regard to encroachment, cycle provision and bin storage
- the effect of the proposal on flood risk with regard to adequate provision for surface water drainage
- whether the proposal would make suitable provision for an Urban Greening Factor
- whether the proposal meets the highest standards of fire safety
What decided it
The lack of private amenity space for future occupiers, combined with restricted outlook and inadequate daylight, constituted unacceptable living conditions that could not be justified by the limited housing supply benefits of the proposal.
