Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupants of No.72 Melbourne Road with particular regard to outlook and overshadowing
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether or not the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to private garden space
What decided it
The lasting harm to the living conditions of existing occupants of the neighbouring property through loss of outlook and overshadowing significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the lasting harm to the living conditions of existing neighbours through loss of outlook and overshadowing.
