Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would make suitable provision for refuse storage, including the effect on the character and appearance of the area and pedestrian safety
- Whether the development would make suitable provision for cycle storage
- Whether the development would provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for the occupiers, having particular regard to the head height in bedroom 6
What decided it
The inadequate provision for refuse and cycle storage, which would conflict with development plan policies and the Framework's objectives for well-designed, inclusive and sustainable places, with the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the limited housing benefits.
The benefits of housing choice and efficient use of existing stock were given limited weight; the significant harm from inadequate refuse and cycle storage provision was given substantial weight, resulting in adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing benefits under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.
