Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of No 121 Front Lane and No 27 Marlborough Close, with regard to outlook and privacy
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, particularly the loss of privacy and overbearing outlook, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefits of the proposal.
The adverse impacts of harm to neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply and delivery, notwithstanding the Council's failure to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
