Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents with regard to privacy, outlook and light
What decided it
The cumulative significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to privacy, outlook and light, which substantially outweighed the moderate weight afforded to housing delivery benefits in the planning balance.
The substantial harm to neighbouring living conditions was weighed against moderate weight for housing delivery (four net dwellings) and limited weight for social and economic benefits; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits, tipping the balance against the proposal.

- Development plan policies
- Policy CL5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 130
