Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on European designated habitats sites
- the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupiers of No 2 Garden Court with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The potential for significant adverse effects on the integrity of European designated habitats sites, which the Inspector could not ensure would be suitably mitigated, provided a clear reason for refusing the development under the Framework's protective policies.
the modest but important contribution to housing delivery and modest social and economic benefits were outweighed by the potential for significant adverse effects on the integrity of European designated habitats sites and the failure to demonstrate acceptable levels of light for neighbouring occupiers
