Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of residents at 61 Cambridge Gardens with reference to outlook
What decided it
The permanent harm caused to the living conditions of existing residents through overbearing impact and loss of outlook significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal, including housing supply and economic benefits.
The significant harm to living conditions of existing residents, cumulatively assessed, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of commercial office space, housing supply contribution, economic benefits, and site improvement, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
