Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 9 Caldy Road, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 9 through enclosure, loss of outlook, overshadowing and loss of privacy outweighed the modest housing supply and economic benefits of the scheme.
The modest social and economic benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
