Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the supply of small family housing
- whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for occupants, having particular regard to the provision of internal space
What decided it
The development causes significant harm to the supply of small family housing and fails to provide acceptable living conditions for occupants, with these harms significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits of housing delivery.
The benefits of boosting housing supply and the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply were outweighed by the significant harm to small family housing supply and the poor living conditions for occupants, resulting in adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
