Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to privacy, outlook, daylight, noise, internal space and the provision of outdoor amenity space
  • the effect of the proposed car parking provision on the safety of highway users

What decided it

The unacceptable living conditions for future occupants combined with inadequate car parking provision and resulting highway safety risks substantially outweighed the modest benefits of brownfield reuse and housing supply.
