Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development upon servicing and highway safety
  • Whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for the occupiers of Flat 4, in particular regard to outlook, light and the quality of their external amenity space, and for the occupiers of Flat 5, in particular regard to the quality of their external amenity space
  • Whether adequate cycle storage would be provided
  • Whether the proposed development would achieve a satisfactory urban greening factor
  • Whether the proposed development would adequately minimise the risks posed from fire
  • Whether the proposal is required to achieve a biodiversity net gain and whether it would do so, and the effects of the proposal upon geodiversity

What decided it

The cumulative effect of substantial conflicts with development plan policies on servicing and highway safety, living conditions, cycle storage, urban greening, and fire safety outweighed the benefits of delivering two dwellings on brownfield land.
