Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for existing and future occupants, with regard to the provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The limited functionality of the side passage and the retention of the main useable garden area meant the loss of garden space would not adversely affect the day-to-day needs of occupants, justifying a departure from the Residential Layout Guidelines SPG standard.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS19
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
