Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on housing choice, with regard to the provision of family dwellings
- the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on two independent grounds—the loss of a family dwelling contrary to housing choice policy and significant harm to neighbouring privacy and outlook—with no material considerations of sufficient weight to overcome these conflicts.
No balancing exercise was undertaken; the proposal was found to be in direct conflict with the development plan with no considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this conflict.
