Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable living environment for its future occupiers by way of the provision of internal space and private outdoor amenity space
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 17 and 19 with regard to privacy
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 17 by way of the provision of private outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The removal of condition 4 would not provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers and would have an unacceptable effect on the privacy of neighbouring occupiers, making the condition reasonable and necessary.
The contribution to housing stock and supply would not outweigh the harm identified in relation to living conditions of future occupiers and privacy impacts on existing neighbours.
