Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of the host property, No 179 Charlton Road, with respect to the provision of internal and outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the proposal provides adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with respect to the provision of internal and outdoor space
What decided it
The failure to ensure acceptable living conditions for the occupants of No 179 through the provision of adequate outdoor space was attributed great importance and outweighed the housing supply benefits.
the benefits of housing delivery and contribution to housing mix were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on living conditions for the occupants of the host property No 179
