Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwellings with reference to outlook and privacy
- the amenity of the neighbouring Welling Pentecostal Church with reference to outlook
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwellings, particularly Unit 3, caused by mutual overlooking, loss of privacy and oppressive outlook, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefit.
the adverse impacts on potential future occupiers of granting permission significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of delivering 2 new dwellings
