Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to privacy, use of the access and the provision of parking
- The effect on the proposed dwellings on the character and appearance of the area, with respect to the size of the rear gardens
- Whether the proposal would affect the integrity of the Upper Nene Gravel Pits Special Protection Area (SPA) and its effect on local air pollution
What decided it
The proposal would result in poor living conditions for future occupiers due to significant overlooking and insufficient parking provision, conflicting with the development plan when taken as a whole.
