Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of Plots 1 to 4 with regard to daylight, sunlight and shading from adjacent protected trees
- whether the proposal would be consistent with the Council's development strategy concerning the location of new residential development
What decided it
The substandard living conditions that would be created for future occupiers of Plots 1 to 4 through significant shading and inadequate daylight provision, combined with the proposal's conflict with the Council's spatial strategy for limiting development beyond the planned limits for development.
The benefits of housing delivery, economic and social benefits, moderate weight to the site's relationship to the village and landscape sensitivity findings, and biodiversity net gain do not outweigh the substandard living conditions for future occupiers and the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy.
