Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions, having particular regard to: the existing and future occupiers of No 22 Horace Street with particular reference to noise and disturbance and privacy; the existing occupiers of Nos 1–4 The Laurels with particular reference to outlook, noise and disturbance and privacy; whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed two dwellings, with particular reference to noise and disturbance and privacy
What decided it
The material harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of No 22 and the failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for the occupiers of the proposed dwellings outweighed the benefits of housing supply and efficient use of the site.
The benefits of supporting Boston's role as a sub-regional centre, efficient use of the site and contribution to housing supply were outweighed by material harm to living conditions of existing and future occupiers of No 22 and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for the proposed dwellings, resulting in conflict with the development plan.
