Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents, in particular the residents of Larkspur House and 10A Selkirk Street
What decided it
The significant and long-lasting harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of Larkspur House through loss of outlook substantially and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing and socio-economic benefits of a single self-build dwelling.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising significant harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision, such that the proposal would not constitute sustainable development.
