Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to the provision of accessible internal and private external space, and appropriate servicing arrangements
- the effect on the living conditions of the residents of 34 Mora Road, with regard to privacy
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers regarding internal space, external amenity space, and servicing arrangements, combined with harmful overlooking impacts on neighbouring residents, outweighed the benefit of delivering additional housing.
