Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with respect to noise and disturbance
  • whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for its future occupiers with regard to their outlook, internal living space and cycle and waste storage
  • the effect of the proposal on the character of the area

What decided it

The failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for the occupier of room 2 and the unacceptable harmful impact on neighbouring occupiers' living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing supply benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

The adverse impacts on neighbouring living conditions and future occupier amenity significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefit of providing seven units of accommodation (net six units after loss of existing dwelling), such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
