Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposals would be permitted development under Article 3(9A)(b) of the GPDO where it requires new dwellinghouses to comply with the nationally described space standard
  • whether the transport impacts of the developments are acceptable, particularly to ensure safe site access

What decided it

The proposals complied with the nationally described space standards required by Article 3(9A)(b) of the GPDO and made adequate provision for waste management and cycle storage to ensure safe site access and transport impacts were acceptable.
