Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory living environment for future occupiers with regard to outlook, light and noise
- whether the proposal would provide adequate parking provision
What decided it
The significant harm to the living environment of future occupiers with regard to outlook, light and noise substantially and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution.
The benefits of eight dwellings and economic contribution (moderate weight) were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to the living environment of future occupiers with regard to outlook, light and noise.
