Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the locally listed building (LLB)
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupants with particular regard to outlook and daylight
- the suitability of the proposed cycle parking facilities
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to parking and whether it is necessary for the proposal to provide a contribution towards sustainable transport
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for refuse storage facilities
What decided it
The cumulative effect of moderate harm to the locally listed building, unacceptable living conditions for future occupants due to inadequate daylight, failure to provide adequate cycle parking for all users, and inability to secure a robust car-free development mechanism to mitigate highway safety impacts collectively outweighed the benefits of additional housing.
