Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to internal living space, privacy, outlook, daylight and sunlight
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for occupiers of the neighbouring property at No 962 Eastern Avenue, with particular regard to outlook and a sense of enclosure
- Whether the development would make acceptable and appropriate storage arrangements for commercial refuse
What decided it
The failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of Flats 2 and 3, combined with potential significant harm to neighbouring living conditions and inadequate commercial refuse storage arrangements, outweighed the modest housing delivery benefits when assessed against the Framework.
the modest social and economic benefits of two additional dwellings on a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to living conditions for future and neighbouring occupiers and the inadequate refuse storage arrangements
