Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development upon highway safety
- whether the development would provide adequate storage for bicycles
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and highway safety arising from inadequate parking provision and poor design integration was not outweighed by the modest benefits of additional housing and economic activity.
