Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 152 and 154 Mildenhall Road with particular regard to outlook and light
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to daylight, sunlight and outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of both existing and future occupiers, when taken together, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefit of one net additional dwelling in a location where housing delivery is below target.
The limited benefit of one net additional dwelling in a sustainable location with good public transport access was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of both existing and future occupiers, such that the proposal does not represent sustainable development.
