Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed apartments would be acceptable, with particular regard to outlook and natural light
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions resulting from inadequate natural light and poor outlook for future occupiers, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing provision and economic activity.
The modest benefits of housing provision and economic activity were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of unacceptable living conditions conflicting with Core Strategy policies and the Framework's commitment to high quality places promoting health and well-being
