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.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 111
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
