Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of No 42 Moorland Road with particular regard to outlook and light
  • Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants of the development

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's proximity, height and depth would cause unacceptable harm to the outlook, light and amenity of the neighbouring property at No 42, and the confined external amenity space would not provide suitable living conditions for future occupants.
