Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of its occupiers with particular regard to internal space and privacy
- highway safety with regard to parking and manoeuvring space within the site
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions caused by inadequate internal space and privacy, combined with harmful effects on highway safety, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery and affordable accommodation.
The moderate benefits of efficient land use, housing delivery and affordable accommodation were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on living conditions of occupants and harm to highway safety.
