Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking of the rear gardens of Nos 364-370 Winchester Road
- whether the wider impacts of the proposed development would be sufficiently mitigated
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of adjoining occupiers through overlooking of rear gardens, combined with the failure to secure mitigation for wider impacts including habitats sites, outweighs the benefits of housing delivery.
The benefits of providing eight residential units and supporting housing supply and the local economy were outweighed by the significant harm to adjoining occupiers' living conditions and the failure to mitigate wider impacts on transport, carbon emissions and habitats sites.
