Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for any additional need for infrastructure arising from the development
The effect on the living conditions of nearby occupiers with particular regard to privacy and whether the development is overbearing
The quality of living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance and car parking

What decided it

The failure to secure signed planning obligations to mitigate infrastructure impacts, combined in Appeal A with unacceptable privacy harm to both neighbouring and future occupiers, rendered both appeals contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.
