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

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: CP1CP12DM1Appendix 2 of the DM Policiespolicy 2 of the Chorleywood Neighbourhood Plan
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11
