Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to loss of outlook, overlooking, loss of privacy and additional noise and disturbance
- The living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to access arrangements, site security and fire safety
- Issues of site layout with particular regard to delivery and servicing, refuse storage, drainage and parking
What decided it
The material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and loss of privacy, combined with the failure to secure car-free development through an appropriate legal mechanism, outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
