Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to light and outlook, as well as means of access
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory arrangements for refuse and recycling
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory mitigation in respect of parking permit restrictions and sustainable transport contributions
What decided it
The proposal would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to poor light and outlook in the bedroom and an unsafe and circuitous means of access, combined with the absence of appropriate mitigation for parking and sustainable transport impacts.
The adverse impacts from lack of satisfactory living environment for future residents and absence of appropriate mitigation towards traffic and parking impacts substantially and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of one additional housing unit, making the proposal unsustainable development.
