Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the property, with particular regard to internal space standards, light and privacy
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 165 and 163 Boston Road, with particular regard to outlook and light
- the supply of a range of dwelling sizes to reflect the local need within the borough
- employment land within the borough
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers (particularly flat D's substandard space and privacy) combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring occupiers' daylight and the unjustified loss of employment land outweighed the benefits of residential development.
