Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to outlook, privacy and noise
- The effect of the proposal on the privacy of the residents of 1 and 2 Oxford Mews
What decided it
The poor living environment that would be created for future occupants, combined with detrimental impacts on neighbouring residents, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the housing benefits despite the acute shortage of housing land supply.
The benefits of delivering four dwellings on previously developed land in an accessible location were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on living conditions for future occupants and neighbouring residents, with the harms significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits under NPPF paragraph 11(d).
