  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to safety

What decided it

The cumulative harm caused by inadequate ecological survey information, unacceptable outlook for future occupiers in two dwellings, reduced outlook for nearby occupiers, and unacceptable safety risks in the car parking layout outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
