Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to accessibility; natural light; outlook; privacy; and amenity space
  • The living conditions of nearby occupiers with particular regard to natural light; outlook; privacy; artificial lighting and noise and disturbance
  • Waste and Recycling provision
  • Affordable Housing provision and Parking provision in the area

What decided it

The cumulative and substantial harm to the living conditions of future and nearby occupiers, combined with unresolved waste/recycling problems and an ineffective S106 obligation leaving affordable housing and parking harms unmitigated, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery even under the tilted balance.

The benefits of housing delivery, sustainability and short-term economic activity were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to living conditions, waste and recycling provision, and affordable housing and parking provision, so the tilted balance did not favour the grant of permission.
