Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 103 and 105 Knott Lane, and 1 Primrose Avenue, with regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of occupiers at Nos. 103 and 105 Knott Lane through overbearing impact, loss of outlook and daylight significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of delivering one additional dwelling.
The modest social and economic benefits of delivering one additional dwelling in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
