Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for occupiers of neighbouring properties at 23 and 25 Downham Road South, and 31 Daryl Road, with particular regard to outlook and whether or not it would be overbearing

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents from the overbearing effect and loss of outlook caused by the very close proximity of the proposed dwelling to adjacent habitable rooms significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of providing a single new dwelling.

The harm to neighbours' living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing delivery and limited social and economic benefits, even under the tilted balance applicable due to the lack of a five-year housing land supply.
