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.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy H14 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan (March 1998)
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 130Paragraph 111
