Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to the provision of internal and external living space
  • the effect of the development on parking, with particular reference to the safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic on Birds Meadow

What decided it

The Inspector's site visit observations that the substandard bedroom was nonetheless of reasonable proportions and that Birds Meadow had sufficient capacity to accommodate parking demand without highway safety harm were decisive to allowing the appeal.
