Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for the future occupiers of the proposed development with particular reference to privacy and internal floorspace
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harmful living conditions for future occupiers resulting from inadequate privacy and internal space provision attracted significant weight against the scheme and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution.
The limited benefits of housing supply and economic contribution were outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of future occupiers in respect of privacy and internal space, such that the harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
