Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the safety and convenience of users of the adjoining footway with particular regard to the adequacy of storage for refuse and recycling
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for existing and future occupants, with particular regard to provision for amenity space and cycle storage
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable harm to the safety and convenience of users of the adjoining footway due to inadequate refuse and recycling storage provision, conflicting with Policies DM8 and DM25 of the Local Plan Part 2 and the NPPF.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM8, Policy DM25, Core Policy CP11
