Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents of 300 Moston Lane East in respect of outlook and light and nearby residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the character and appearance of the area, including with regard to the provision for the storage and collection of waste
- the supply of housing in the area and the creation and maintenance of sustainable communities and community cohesion
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of residents of 300 Moston Lane East arising from unacceptable loss of outlook and light from the proposed rear extensions could not be outweighed by the benefits of providing supported accommodation.
The adverse impacts of harm to neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of providing supported accommodation and contributing to identified need for special needs housing.
