Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking
whether the proposal would be provided with a safe means of access and egress

What decided it

The proposal would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and would not provide safe access and egress, conflicting with the development plan.

The public benefits of 12 new dwellings, affordable housing and economic benefits were attributed moderate weight but were not of sufficient collective weight to outweigh the identified harms to neighbouring living conditions and highway safety.

Framework references: 111

Plan policies cited: Policy S1
