Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to privacy and whether the proposal would result in an unneighbourly sense of enclosure
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupants, with particular regard to pedestrian safety and vehicle fumes
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents (No 29 Tewson Road) and future occupants of single-aspect flats outweighed the housing and other benefits under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of the proposal, including harm to living conditions of neighbours and future occupants, were found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and other benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
