Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposal meets local housing needs with regard to size and mix
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Ashlea, with specific regard to outlook and overshadowing

What decided it

The proposal's failure to demonstrate it meets local housing needs with regard to size and mix, combined with the harmful effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and overshadowing, outweighed the limited benefits of housing provision.

The limited benefits arising from the provision of housing were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of failing to deliver an appropriate housing mix and the harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

Development plan policies: Policy NP2 of the East Markham Neighbourhood Plan 2016-2031Policy DM4 of the Bassetlaw District Local Development Framework Development Management Policies DPD
