Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable mix of housing, having regard to relevant development plan policy
- Whether the proposal would represent good design and its effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to privacy
- Whether the proposal would prejudice development of an adjacent site
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for prospective occupants, having regard to layout, light, outlook, privacy, amenity space, accessibility and fire safety
- Whether the proposal would be acceptable with respect to parking and highway safety
- Whether there are material planning considerations that would outweigh any development plan conflict so as to justify granting permission
What decided it
The proposal would cause material harm to neighbours' living conditions through overlooking and would provide an unsatisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupants, particularly Flats 1, 2 and 4, which conflicts with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by other material considerations.
