Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of no. 70 Panters with regard to outlook
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of occupants of no. 70 Panters through overbearing outlook significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution.
The significant weight given to harm to living conditions of existing residents outweighs the significant weight given to housing delivery benefits and the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
