Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 6 Marbeck Close, 19 Pierson Road, and 21 Pierson Road, with particular regard to outlook
- whether the development would provide an adequate standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at 19 and 21 Pierson Road through visual disturbance and the failure to provide an adequate standard of accommodation for future occupiers, which outweighed the modest housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising substantial harm to neighbouring living conditions and inadequate accommodation standards, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest social and economic benefits of delivering a single dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
