Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing in the area
What decided it
The unacceptably adverse effects on the living conditions of both future occupiers and neighbouring occupiers, which substantially and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.
The limited benefit to housing supply was significantly outweighed by substantial harm to the living conditions of future occupiers and neighbouring occupiers; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
