Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character of the area, and on the living conditions of neighbours, with regards to activity, noise and disturbance and car parking
- whether the proposed development would provide an adequate standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal living and external amenity space
What decided it
The substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, combined with the inadequate standard of accommodation for future occupiers in terms of internal space and external amenity, outweighed the benefits of residential development on a brownfield site.
