Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development provides adequate living conditions for future residents
  • whether the proposed development adversely impacts on neighbour living conditions
  • whether the proposed development would contribute appropriately to the housing mix of the area
  • the impact of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on ecological sites of international importance

What decided it

The lack of sufficiently good levels of living standards for future occupiers, particularly the poor outlook and light for Flat 1 and the sub-standard internal floor areas of Flats 2 and 4, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing supply benefits under the tilted balance.

The benefits of housing supply (four flats) and economic benefits were outweighed by the adverse impacts of inadequate living standards for future occupiers and failure to provide appropriate housing mix, applying the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d) due to lack of 5-year housing land supply.
