Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide its occupants with acceptable living conditions, with regard to internal living space, outlook and natural light
- whether the development would provide its occupants, and existing occupiers with acceptable living conditions, with regard to private amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to parking
- the effect of the proposal on local housing needs and the stock of family sized homes
What decided it
The failure to secure a car-free development through a legal agreement, combined with inadequate living conditions in Flat B due to lack of natural light and the absence of annotated storage in Flat A, meant the proposal could not be approved.
