Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 19 Cowbridge Lane with particular reference to outlook and daylight
- The living conditions of its future occupiers, with particular reference to internal space standards and external space
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of both neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers arising from inadequate daylight, outlook, internal space and external amenity space standards outweighed the modest benefits of providing one additional housing unit.
The modest benefits of housing delivery and urban location did not outweigh the significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers and occupants at No 19; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
