Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for the development proposed
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents with particular regards to noise and activity
- whether the proposal would achieve the highest standards of fire safety
What decided it
The site's proximity to Gresham Primary School (140m) and Sanderstead Recreation Ground, combined with the absence of evidence that fire safety standards could be achieved, rendered the proposal unsuitable and contrary to development plan policy.
