Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the parking conditions in the area and consequently the safety of users on the highway, including whether future occupiers would be encouraged to use alternative modes of transport to the private vehicle
- whether future occupants of the proposal would be afforded acceptable living conditions, with specific regard to internal space, outlook, daylight, noise and external space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 4 Ridge Hill Lane, with specific reference to noise
- whether the proposal would provide adequate waste and recycling facilities
What decided it
The proposal would harm highway safety and fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, and these adverse effects would substantially outweigh the benefits of providing additional housing under Policy S4 of the Framework.
the benefits of providing additional housing would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on highway safety and living conditions for future occupiers when assessed against the national decision-making policies in the Framework
