Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal development offers adequate living conditions for its occupants with regard to privacy and outside space provision
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with reference to privacy
- the effect on the supply of family housing in the Borough
What decided it
The appeal development fails to provide adequate living conditions for occupants regarding privacy and outside space, causes unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbours, and results in a net loss of quality family housing contrary to development plan policies.
