Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of external amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to privacy, outlook, light, provision for refuse and cycle storage, and parking and vehicle manoeuvring
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for both future and existing occupiers, combined with substantial harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
The modest benefits of two additional dwellings on brownfield land and limited economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by unacceptable harm to living conditions for future and existing occupiers and substantial harm to character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
