Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the living conditions of future occupiers of the development, with particular regard to privacy
- the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of number 1A Hargreaves Avenue and other neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers through loss of privacy and the moderate harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits, particularly when assessed against the Framework's aim to create places with a high standard of amenity.
The adverse impacts of significant harm to future occupiers' privacy and moderate harm to neighbours' outlook significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery, short-term employment, and local economic vitality, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
