Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the vitality and viability of nearby designated town and local centres
- the living conditions of the occupiers of No 133 Church Road with particular reference to outlook, daylight, and overshadowing
What decided it
The development conflicts with the development plan strategy for locating retail uses in designated centres and would result in significantly harmful living conditions to neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and overshadowing, with no considerations advanced that outweigh these findings.
The moderate weight in favour of overall policy compliance and limited economic benefits was significantly outweighed by the significant weight against the scheme arising from conflict with retail location strategy and significantly harmful living conditions to neighbouring occupiers.
