Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide sufficient amenity space for current and future occupants of flat 3
- Whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants of the proposed house and for the occupants of existing dwellings in respect of outlook and privacy
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
What decided it
The significant harm from insufficient amenity space for the existing flat and poor outlook for future occupants of the proposed house demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of a single dwelling contribution to housing supply.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and sustainability enhancements were outweighed by the significant harm from loss of amenity space and poor living conditions; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
