Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future and existing occupiers in relation to the provision of amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable living conditions for future and existing occupiers due to the provision of significantly insufficient private amenity space, which harm is not outweighed by the limited housing benefit of a single dwelling in an area with no five-year housing land supply.
The significant harm to living conditions of future and existing occupiers through inadequate amenity space, which conflicts with Policy GEN2 and the Framework, outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
Framework references: 30, 8, 130, 11
Plan policies cited: Policy GEN2 of the Uttlesford Local Plan Adopted January 2005
