Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space standards and private outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of existing neighbouring properties, with particular regard to the resultant private outdoor space provided for, and outlook from, number 2 Osmaston Road
- whether the proposal would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety
- whether the proposal would create an unacceptable flood risk
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the extent of proposed development on the site
What decided it
The adverse impacts of unsatisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, harm to existing occupiers' amenity, unacceptable highway safety effects, undemonstrated flood risk, and detrimental character impact significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery under the tilted balance.
The moderate benefits of delivering 2 dwellings on a brownfield site and contributing to housing supply were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harms to living conditions, highway safety, flood risk and character and appearance.
