Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is in a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTAL)
whether the proposal would be harmful to living conditions, with particular regard to existing and future residents
whether the proposal would be harmful to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of the development and the occupiers of neighbouring properties

What decided it

The proposal fails to meet the mandatory PTAL threshold in Policy HO10 and would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of both future occupiers (through constrained outlook and privacy) and neighbouring residents (through intensified noise and disturbance in a tightly-knit residential setting).

Development plan policies: Policy HO10Policy GR1Policy D3Policy D14
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 135Paragraph 117
