Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to daylight and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on protected species
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate refuse and recycling storage
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate cycle storage provision
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to poor outlook from basement units, would lack adequate protected species assessment, and would not provide sufficient refuse and recycling or cycle storage provision.
