Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on protected trees, and linked to that, whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to sunlight and daylight
What decided it
The poor relationship between the proposed dwellings and the protected trees, combined with unacceptable overshadowing and living conditions for future occupants, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing and economic benefits.
The adverse impacts of poor design and unacceptable living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing supply and economic benefits, when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole.
Framework references: 131, 11
Plan policies cited: Policy 20 of the Oldham Local Development Framework Development Plan Document- Joint Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2011), Policy D1.5 of the Oldham Metropolitan Borough Unitary Development Plan (2006)
