Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 25 Brinkley Way and 10 Estuary Drive with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- Whether the proposal would affect open space and, if so, the effects that would be wrought by this
- The adequacy of the surface water drainage system proposed and the effects of the proposal upon flood risk
What decided it
The unacceptable infringement upon the privacy and outlook of neighbouring occupiers, combined with the loss of open space and inadequate drainage design, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SCLP11.2SCLP8.2SCLP9.5
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
