Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 33 Pannall Road, with particular regard to light and outlook
- whether adequate car parking provision would be provided, so as to prevent unacceptable harm to highway safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of 33 Pannall Road, particularly the harmful reduction in light and outlook to a bedroom window, outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits of the scheme.
The adverse impacts of the development, particularly harm to neighbouring residential amenity, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the identified benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution, even when assessed against the Framework as a whole under the tilted balance.
