Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers
What decided it
The significant overbearing effect and loss of daylight and sunlight to the principal living space of No.17 Oatfield Road, which would be experienced as oppressive, could not be justified by the modest housing benefits of a single additional dwelling.
The harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social and economic benefits of the development, including the provision of one additional dwelling and construction employment, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
