Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking
- whether a satisfactory standard of accommodation would be provided for future occupiers
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers, when weighed against the moderate benefit of one additional dwelling under the tilted balance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
Under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework (tilted balance), the moderate weight afforded to the contribution of one dwelling to housing supply was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers, resulting in dismissal.
