Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with specific regard to outlook, light, noise and disturbance
- Whether the development meets minimum national space standards
- Whether the development meets national accessibility standards
- The effect of the development on the Wellingborough Town Outer Conservation Area
What decided it
The combination of unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to poor outlook and unmitigated noise disturbance, failure to meet space standards, and unjustified harm to the Conservation Area outweighed any modest housing supply benefit.
