Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 76, 78 and 80 Wish Hill, with particular regard to outlook, noise and disturbance, and to the occupiers of properties on Spring Close, with particular regard to parking stress
- highway safety
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of number 78 through significant reduction in outlook, combined with the unacceptable adverse effect on highway safety from the parking and manoeuvring arrangements, substantially and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of delivering a single dwelling.
The substantial harms to living conditions and highway safety, accorded substantial weight, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery and limited benefits from sustainability measures and economic activity, such that the development does not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
