Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development provides adequate vehicle and cycle parking provision and access to the site, and whether adequate and satisfactory arrangements are available for refuse and recycling storage
- whether the proposed development would result in the loss of a family sized home
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupants having particular regard to kitchen provision and access arrangements
What decided it
The absence of adequate detail on vehicle and cycle parking provision, access arrangements with visibility splays, and refuse and recycling storage, which are fundamental to the scheme's operation and highway safety given the site's location near a primary school and low public transport accessibility.
