Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 1-35 Rayners Terrace with particular regard to daylight, sunlight and privacy
What decided it
The significant benefits of the brownfield student housing redevelopment were found to outweigh the limited, moderate-weight harm to daylight, sunlight and privacy of a small number of neighbouring flats.
The very significant weight attached to brownfield redevelopment and the benefits of student housing, affordable provision and economic gain outweighed the moderate harm to the living conditions of a small number of occupiers of 1-35 Rayners Terrace
