Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of dwellings in Rainham Road, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The harmful loss of privacy and overbearing outlook impact on the occupiers of No. 269 Rainham Road, arising from the proximity and scale of the proposed dwellings, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
The modest benefits of two dwellings to housing supply in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts arising from harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy 7, Policy 10
