Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of living conditions for future occupiers
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The significant overlooking and loss of privacy for future occupiers, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts at the junction, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing benefits even in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
The modest benefits of providing one dwelling and small economic benefits during construction were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions through overlooking and loss of privacy, and the unacceptable impacts on highway safety.
