Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site provides a suitable location for the development proposed having particular regard to the site's accessibility to public transport as well as facilities and services
Whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for all the occupiers of the proposed development with particular regard to the standard of their internal accommodation and their outlook
Whether adequate provision would be made for cycle storage
Whether the proposed development would be the subject of suitable management arrangements

What decided it

The site's poor public transport accessibility (PTAL rating 2) combined with inadequate internal accommodation standards for the front loft bedroom and failure to provide adequate cycle storage provision meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan when taken as a whole.
