Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbours with particular reference to loss of outlook, daylight and creating a sense of enclosure
- whether or not the proposed development would adequately address car parking and sustainable modes of transport
What decided it
The significant harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of daylight, outlook and sense of enclosure, combined with the failure to secure adequate sustainable transport provisions through a binding agreement, outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling.
The limited weight given to housing delivery and small-scale economic benefit was outweighed by the significant weight attributed to harm to neighbouring living conditions and inadequate sustainable transport provision, with the proposal conflicting with the development plan taken as a whole.
