Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 74 Watergate Road, having regard to private outdoor amenity space provision, outlook and privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of the host property through loss of private outdoor amenity space, oppressive outlook impacts, and privacy loss was not outweighed by the benefits of housing supply and other considerations.
The benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits, and the provision of a dwelling type for which there is identified need (afforded moderate weight) were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of the host property, resulting in failure to achieve the social objective of sustainable development
