Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory residential environment
- Whether suitable access for service and delivery vehicles would be provided
What decided it
The proposal would provide very limited usable amenity areas of poor quality with restricted outlook and daylight/sunlight, failing to provide an acceptable residential environment for future occupiers.
The benefits of housing delivery were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on residential amenity and environment
