Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether occupiers of the units would experience satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to outlook and daylight
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The inadequate outlook and daylight for ground floor occupiers due to the lightwell design, which would result in unsatisfactory living conditions, outweighed the housing delivery benefits.
The harm to living conditions from inadequate outlook and daylight was accorded significant weight and was found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery and associated social and economic benefits, such that the planning balance did not indicate a decision other than in accordance with the development plan
