Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the living conditions of existing occupiers
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to amenity space and outlook
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for both existing and future occupiers, particularly the overbearing impact on the rear amenity space of the host property and the inadequate private amenity space and restricted outlook for the proposed dwellings, outweighed the limited housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.
the limited housing supply benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified adverse impacts on living conditions when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole
