Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 1 Grove Road and Nos 7, 9 & 11 Moorland Road, with particular regard to visual impact, outlook, privacy and light
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly visual intrusion, overlooking and loss of daylight, outweigh the limited benefits of providing a single additional dwelling.
the limited benefits of one additional dwelling in a sustainable location, including housing delivery and energy efficiency, were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on neighbouring living conditions and conflict with development plan policies
