What decided it
The material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 14, particularly regarding outlook and the overbearing effect of the proposed dwelling, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of delivering one additional housing unit in a borough with a shortfall in housing land supply.
The harm to neighbouring living conditions and conflict with Policy DM10 significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of delivering one additional accessible and energy-efficient residential unit in a location well-served by local facilities and in a borough with a shortfall in housing land supply; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

- Development plan policies
- Policy DM10
