Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- its effect on the living conditions of occupiers of 18 Fitzwilliam Street in respect of outlook and the amount of associated outdoor space
- whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for its occupants in terms of outdoor space
What decided it
The identified harm in respect of character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and inadequate outdoor space for future occupants meant the proposal was contrary to the development plan, and the benefits were of insufficient weight to justify permission.
the modest benefits of housing delivery, effective land use and economic benefits were of insufficient weight to outweigh the harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions and future occupant amenity
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 8 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2016Policy EN1 of the Rushden Neighbourhood Plan 2018
