Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with regard to internal space, access, outlook, daylight/sunlight and ventilation
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, particularly regarding internal space, access legibility, security, outlook, and daylight/sunlight levels, which conflict with Policy H10 and NPPF paragraph 130.
The adverse impacts of substandard living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of brownfield land, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
