Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers and those of the occupiers of No. 56A, with regards to outlook and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The material harm to the living conditions of future occupiers through inadequate outlook and cramped outdoor amenity space significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing delivery under the tilted balance.
The benefits of providing a single new home and supporting local facilities were afforded limited weight despite the significant housing land supply shortfall; the significant and enduring harm to living conditions of future occupiers was found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh these benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
