Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 306 and 308 Queens Promenade and 5 Leyburn Avenue with regard to light, outlook and amenity space provision
- the character and appearance of the area
- highway safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 5 Leyburn Avenue with regard to light and outlook, which conflicts with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by the benefits of housing supply and brownfield development.
The benefits of housing supply, brownfield development and local economic benefits were outweighed by the substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to light and outlook.
