Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on living conditions of occupiers of 316 and 318 Hatfield Road, with particular regard to outlook
- 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 occupiers of No 318, particularly in relation to outlook caused by the massing and height of the proposed dwelling close to the boundary, outweighed the marginal housing supply benefit.
The adverse effects on the living conditions of the adjoining dwelling at No 318 significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits identified in favour of the development, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
