Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the external amenity space would be sufficient to meet the day to day needs of occupants in terms of private outdoor living space
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The external amenity space would be insufficient to meet the day-to-day needs of occupants and would not function well or promote a high standard of amenity, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefits even under the tilted balance.

The adverse impacts of inadequate external amenity space that would not function well or promote health, well-being or a high standard of amenity significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic activity, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
