Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The proposed housing mix, with particular regard to the provision of family sized accommodation
- Whether future occupiers would have satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to the size of the accommodation; internal storage provision, and private amenity space
- Whether a planning obligation in respect of car free development; cycle hire membership, and car club membership would be reasonable and necessary to make the proposed development acceptable
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole, particularly regarding housing mix (lack of family-sized accommodation), living conditions of future occupiers (undersized units, insufficient storage and amenity space), and the absence of a planning obligation to secure car-free development and car club membership.
