Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to amenity space, overshadowing, outlook and privacy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including trees
  • the effect of the proposal on highways contributions

What decided it

The unacceptably harmful effect upon the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular reference to amenity space, overshadowing, outlook and privacy, which would conflict with CS Policy DM9 and the Residential Design Guide.

the harm to living conditions for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits to housing supply due to the modest size of the scheme and contributions to the local economy
