Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A and B: the effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular reference to private amenity space and off-street parking

What decided it
The substantial harm to the living conditions of future occupiers from inadequate private amenity space and poor internal arrangements substantially and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were substantially outweighed by the substantial harm to the living conditions of future occupiers from inadequate private amenity space and poor internal arrangements, resulting in dismissal despite the Council's inability to demonstrate five-year housing land supply.
