What decided it
The benefits of providing a new dwelling on an underutilised urban site, contributing to housing supply and supporting the social and environmental objectives of the Framework, significantly outweighed the very limited adverse impact of reduced outdoor space to the adjacent dwelling and the minor conflict with the Development Plan.
The adverse impact of the proposal, including conflict with the Development Plan regarding reduction in private open space, was significantly outweighed by the economic, social and environmental benefits of providing a new dwelling on an underutilised urban site in a highly accessible location.
