Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to outlook
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to the provision of private outdoor space
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for public recreation and open space having regard to the development plan policies
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers, combined with the modest housing contribution, meant the adverse effects significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under NPPF paragraph 11(d)(ii).
The modest housing contribution and minor benefits in efficient land use and economic advantages were substantially outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers, resulting in the adverse effects significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits.
