Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the submitted details for materials specification for the reconstruction of the footways adjoining the site are acceptable

What decided it

The proposed tarmac surface would not constitute a high quality finish and would be markedly inferior to the materials used in other nearby developments, thereby failing to meet Policy CS74's requirement for good design and materials that enhance the area's character and support regeneration objectives.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CS74
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 131
