Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 12 Red Lion Lane, having particular regard to daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The unacceptable reduction in daylight and sunlight to the neighbouring property, which would significantly harm the living conditions of its occupiers and substantially outweigh the housing benefits of the scheme.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of land were outweighed by the significant social harms arising from unacceptable loss of daylight and sunlight to neighbouring residents, which carried substantial weight.
