Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 40 Estcots Drive, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 40 Estcots Drive caused by the overbearing proximity and dominance of the proposed dwelling's flank elevation.
Although the Council can demonstrate a five-year housing supply and the proposal would support efficient use of land and housing delivery with limited economic benefits, these benefits would not outweigh the unacceptable harm to neighbouring residential amenity.
