Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The impact of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 28 Nutbourne Road, having regard to privacy and outlook impacts
  • The impact of the proposal on the Solent Special Protection Areas (SPAs)

What decided it

The undue harm to the privacy of the occupiers of 28 Nutbourne Road from the proposed rear bedroom window, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing benefits of the development.

The modest housing benefits and economic benefits of the development were outweighed by the significant harm to neighbouring living conditions and the failure to achieve the social objectives of sustainable development in fostering well-designed places and providing good residential amenity.
