Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for its future occupiers, with regard to light, outlook, privacy and access, and the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 37 Alma Street, with regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal would result in harmful living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outlook and light, which substantially outweighs the moderate benefit of one new dwelling in an area with housing land supply shortage.
The moderate benefit of one new energy-efficient dwelling on brownfield land and limited economic and regeneration benefits were substantially outweighed by the substantial harm to future occupiers' living conditions regarding light and outlook, resulting in the proposal not representing sustainable development
