Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, having regard to outlook and daylight
What decided it
The confined location and restricted outlook would result in poor living conditions for future occupiers that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate housing supply benefit.
The moderate benefit of housing supply contribution on brownfield land was outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on living conditions for future occupiers, such that the proposal would not represent sustainable development.
