Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to private amenity space
  • housing mix, having regard to relevant development plan policies
  • the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to parking demand and noise and disturbance
  • the character of the area

What decided it

The proposed development would not provide access to private amenity space for future occupants of the upper flat, resulting in unsatisfactory living accommodation that conflicts with saved Policy DC5.3 of the UDP.
